It is worthwhile also to consider the analogy between
epithemology and ethics in the the perspective of the
subjective-objective dichotomy in yet another dimension.
One might argue that the sciences Natur und
Geisteswissenschaften alike, are objective accounts of what
is (publicly) known, so epistemology as the philosophical
discipline is the subjective account of what I know.
One might similarly argue that psychology, sociology
and the law are objective accounts of how men act and how
men should act, but ethics is the philosophical discipline
which considers how I act and how I ought to act.
In this sense, philosophy might be called the science
of the subjective.
