Objectivity is the quality of being based on facts and not influenced by personal feelings or biases.

On the path of knowledge, objectivity is:

• A useful ideal for practical purposes

• Never fully achievable, as all experience is subjective

• A relative concept within the illusion

• Distinguished from subjectivity

The path recognizes that all knowledge ultimately arises in subjective experience, but objective agreement can be reached through shared direct experience and logic.
