That external reality must be described by non human entities i.e math is a consequence if the objectivity trait if external reality.
Some social scientists dismiss both objevtivity and the existence of external reality. They even undermine the epistemological function "describe" as it lacks criticality, a main component and priority of humanities.
But description in science is exact, is illuminating if it ever fones around partly because it is a main function to achieve about external reality.
To go one step further, scientists explain the increased involvement of math in science by the fact that it aids the objectivity of this description.
What do you thing about all this?
Do you agree with statement?
Do you find any rightness in social scientists' dismissal of external reality as basis for acquiring knowledge?
Why do you believe objectivity, especially in the way you put it. is essential in such matters?
