Andrew Collier is the boldest defender of objectivity - in science, knowledge, thought, action, politics, morality and religion.

This wide-ranging book covers key areas with which defenders of objectivity often have to engage. Sections are devoted to the following:* objectivity of value
* objectivity and everyday knowledge
* objectivity in political economy
* objectivity and reflexivity
* objectivity postmodernism and feminism
* objectivity and nature
The diverse contributions range from social and political thought to philosophy, reflecting the central themes of Collier's work.
