There's a lot of discussion on the concept of objectivity and objective reality. Science focuses on understanding and observing objective reality. Many philosophical traditions do also focus on objective reality, but there are some traditions that do not think objective reality exists (particularly postmodernism). Using this particular article as an example, we jump into a discussion on the differences between liberal, conservative, constructivist, and postmodernist takes on objectivity and objective reality.
