Exact objectivity is the accomplishment of method, practiced by men generally in the world of experience (the sense world practiced not as a commercial praxis, as a technique of shaping and reshaping things pregiven in experience, but as a praxis in which those imperfectly determining thing representations make up the material; and it involves a general attitude of thought such that, taking an exemplary individual thing as an example of any given thing at all, the open, endless multiplicity of its imperfect but perfectible subjective representations is thought of as having been run through, and this in the exercise of the capacity of proceeding from each representation along the lines of its possible perfection.
