<PERSPECTIVITY ANALYSIS />
The <PerspektivitätsAnalyse> is a PTL instrument designed to detach the discourse of "subjective" and "objective" from the crude everyday polarity and to render it precise as a multidimensional question of perspectivity. Its starting point is the insight that "subjective" does not simply mean "mere opinion" and "objective" does not simply mean "universally valid." What is decisive, rather, is which type of access, which ontological bearer, which claim to validity, and which degree of abstraction/concretisation is in each case at play. In this way it becomes visible why apparent disputes about subjectivity/objectivity are often in truth disputes about models of access, the status of entities, or forms of validity.
Methodologically, the page draws on Broad's analytical refinements: it compels one to distinguish the act of cognition from the object of cognition (e.g., "experiencing" a state versus "contemplating" a state of affairs) and to grasp "direct accessibility" not psychologically but logically: Enjoyment (the participant perspective, necessarily private) as opposed to Contemplation (the observer perspective, contemplative cognition); Prehension (the immediate acquaintance with a sensum or introspective datum) as opposed to discursive/inferential knowledge (publicly mediated attribution via behaviour/indications). The central question is then no longer simply "subjective or objective?" but rather: Is perspectivity being modelled as the privacy of immediate acquaintance, or as the corrigibility of discursive inference?
Ontologically, <PerspektivitätsAnalyse> takes as its point of departure the difference between Continuants and Occurrents. An "inflamed nerve" is a continuant (an enduring physical entity), whereas a "toothache" is an occurrent (a time-bound mental event/state). The analysis holds that the transition from the physical process to the conscious episode is not merely an "ignorance of mechanisms" but a structural question: what kind of causality is being presupposed (transeunt physical causation versus a psychophysical bridge), and is the mental treated as an irreducible occurrent, or is it reductively reinterpreted in terms of continuants?
With regard to the theory of validity, the page introduces a firm dividing line: the objectivity of validity is not identical with universality. Particularly in the moral domain, the standard error is to admit objective validity only where a proposition holds "for all." Following Broad, this can be rendered precise by means of determinables versus determinates: a judgement can be objectively valid even though it is extremely specific at the determinate level (e.g., this particular tax system in this constellation). The guiding idea here is Resultant Fittingness, or an objective wrong-making tendency: validity is bound to a concrete structure of circumstances, not to nomological generality. <PerspektivitätsAnalyse> thereby renders "topologies of validity" visible: objective-specific versus universal-determinable.
Semantically, finally, the page addresses the ambiguity of "abstract." It distinguishes abstraction as selection (the highlighting of one aspect) from abstraction as construction (the building up of a logical schema/space of rules). At the same time, "concretisation" is understood not only epistemically (proximity to examples) but also motivationally: when is a rule conducted merely as a "bloodless relation," and when as a disposition (empathy/impetus) that becomes efficacious within the subject?
The four checkpoints (matrix) of <PerspektivitätsAnalyse>:
- Epistemic accessibility: prehension (private/direct) versus discursive inference (public/indirect).
- Ontological grounding: consciousness-dependent occurrents versus existence-independent continuants.
- Topology of validity: objective fittingness in the specific (determinate) versus nomological universality (determinable).
- Degree of concretisation: logically detached structure (abstract) versus phenomenological enactment/motivational acquaintance (concrete).
