Subjective/Objective/Gradual/Nagel: so the distinction is relative! (Polarity, continuum, respects: space, time, opportunities, scales). - E.g. a universal human perspective is more objective than that of an indidvidual, but less objective than a physical one.
>Perspective/Nagel.
Subjectivity: not necessarily something private.
>Intersubjectivity.
Objectivity: you cannot approach it by expansion of the imagination.
