20010530.03 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. * * * * *
