| Objectivism: Husserl used the term "objectivism" to refer to a philosophical position that takes the objects of our experience as given and real, independent of our minds. He was critical of objectivism, arguing that it ignores the essential role of consciousness in our experience of the world. See also E. Husserl._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Economic Theories on Objectivism - Dictionary of Arguments
Kurz I 20 Objectivism/Economic theories/Kurz: Physical concepts were widely discussed by economists in the late nineteenth and at the beginning of the twentieth century. Economists thus responded to developments in the sciences, especially John Dalton’s elaboration of the ‘atomic theory’ in chemistry. This theory was based on two laws: (i) the Law of the conservation of mass; and (ii) the Law of definite proportions. The latter stated that in a given chemical compound, the elements are always combined in the same proportion by mass. The first Law met largely with approval amongst economists which, however, did not necessarily mean much. More surprisingly, even the second Law appealed to some economists. It was discussed, for example, by Pantaleoni (1894, pp. 99 et seq.), whose work Sraffa had meticulously studied while still in Italy. Heinz D.
