This is the full version of the Q compressed to fit the headline Q-box 10 character limit:
Is objectivity an attitudinal goal in all thinking endeavors especially in problem-solving & in philosophic reflection?
Plato, Aristotle, Stoics, and many philosophers like Kant and Hegel to mention only a few of many philosophers, thought so. I think it is part of the open-minded approach to philosophy. Your opinions supported by reasons/ Pls no casual answers as this is no casual Q. Said for focus and in case you have not noticed I don't ask trivial Q's or like trivial A's. Feel differently than I do? Then, pls be courteous & considerate, & skip my Q's.
offtopic comment: Compressions and abbreviations(some phonetic) sometimes is necessary to draw audience attention. It's more effective & informative than: "I have a philosophy Q? in the Q-box. Don't you think? I remember the tail end of the telex days which, by the way, have returned in new form as texting on small handheld screens!

You have to respect the brute nature of in itself eventually.
I haven't seen any relativist or postmodernist who is willing to jump off 80 story building because theory of gravity is a social construct.

I dont think objectivity is about attitude. I think it is the perspective from which we reflect on the Q. It is about creating distance between the Q and the reflector.
