There is a contextual pattern that allows us to categorize and compare to other people—and possibly forecast what he or she will do in certain situations. We must get intimately immersed in a connection of loving, loathing, sharing, mourning, celebrating, and so on before we can be considered "acquainted with" the same person. Objective, dispassionate, and rational "knowledge of" is the norm (Honer et al., 1968). "Acquaintance with" is a subjective, interpersonal, and time-consuming concept.
Objectivism believes that objects or ideas exist independently of the perceiver or the circumstance under which they are known. There is an actual reality "out there," The epistemological dilemma is to distinguish, define, and explain how something exterior to people (objects, ideas, or values) might become something people claim to know.
Example
The concept can be illustrated quite effectively if we accept John Dewey's analogy of a toothache and utilize it in the first person singular case. The dentist is undoubtedly more knowledgeable than I am about the origins and treatment of my toothache. However, I / am personally familiar with the discomfort and pain of this own distinctive physical disorder. My toothache is well-known to the dentist. He knows how to describe the symptoms and how to treat them. He can foresee the likely conditions and outcomes of my illness. But I'm suffering from a toothache; I can feel it or immediately experience it (Honer et al., 1968). The basic distinction between the two types of knowledge may aid us in sorting out and evaluating knowledge assertions that are in dispute.
Explanation
The ignorance, deception, and injustice of other men can harm a person in various ways. Above all, he is the potential of being deeply disappointed by the vices of someone he formerly trusted or loved. However, as long as his possessions are not plundered, and he is not physically harmed, the harm he suffers is primarily spiritual rather than physical; in this situation, the individual alone has the capacity and obligation to heal his wounds. He retains his freedom: he retains his opportunity to think, draw from his situations, seek out other human interactions, and begin again and achieve his pleasure.
Critical analysis
Objectivism is religiously neutral and authoritarian; it is neither progressive nor conservative, nor does it fall somewhere in the middle. It acknowledges and defends moral concepts' secular origins and nature and the universal moral foundations of a free, fully civil society.
