The subject/object paradigm has its place, but it’s not the only valid way of understanding reality.
Subject/object is the necessary starting point for analytical thinking. The very act of defining a phenomenon for scientific study begins from this premise. Science supposedly minimizes the role of the observer, but simply by identifying the object of study, the subject (observer) makes an indelible mark.
There is an equally valid way of understanding reality that does not involve this dichotomy. It doesn’t lend itself to analysis, though, because it refutes the terms that make analysis possible.
Which mode is “best” depends. Technology relies on the kinds of reasoning that are rooted in the world of subject and object. But in matters of art, religion and human relations, we’re often better off tuning in to the holistic understanding of the world. Happily, with practice, both are available as needed.
