ОБЪЕКТИВНОСТЬ

Objectiveness

A concept denoting a phenomenon, action, state, etc., is connected with objects or is (becomes) itself an object; the being of something as an object, that is, real existence. For example, it is possible to speak of the objective (or material, which in this case is the same) characteristic of practical activity, since in this process men are engaged with objects and create objects as a result of that activity; one may speak of the objectiveness of the reflection of reality by man, that is, of the presence in the human mind of an objective content, inasmuch as that content is the reflection of objects of the material world, etc.

Recognition of man's objectiveness, his activity, the content of his consciousness, etc., distinguishes materialist from idealist philosophy. True, Hegel used the term "objectiveness". But with him objectiveness was merely the product (alienation) of the absolute spirit at certain stages of its development and must be removed, set aside, by the recognition of the fact that every objectiveness is the other being of the spirit, the concept, the idea.
