Subjective vs Objective Research Philosophy

The main differences between objective and subjective research philosophies are as follows:


Nature of reality (ontology): subjective: perceived reality vs objective: reality out there
Nature of knowledge (epistemology): subjective: tacit; experience-based vs objective: explicit and codified
Human nature: subjective: free will vs objective: deterministic


Other aspects: view on social contradiction..
