If a claim is true even when considering it outside the viewpoint of a sentient being, then it may be labelled objectively true.</li></ul> Both ideas have been given various and ambiguous definitions by differing sources as the distinction is often a given but not the specific focal point of philosophical discourse.<a href="#cite_note-:01-2">[2]</a> The two words are usually regarded as <a href="/wiki/Antonym" class="mw-redirect" title="Antonym">opposites</a>, though complications regarding the two have been explored in philosophy: for example, the view of particular thinkers that objectivity is an illusion and does not exist at all, or that a spectrum joins subjectivity and objectivity with a gray area in-between, or that the problem of other minds is best viewed through the concept of <a href="/wiki/Intersubjectivity" title="Intersubjectivity">intersubjectivity</a>, developing since the 20th century.

Several history streams developed to devise ways to solve this dilemma: Historians like <a href="/wiki/Leopold_von_Ranke" title="Leopold von Ranke">Leopold von Ranke</a> (19th century) have advocated for the use of extensive <a href="/wiki/Evidence" title="Evidence">evidence</a> –especially <a href="/wiki/Archive" title="Archive">archived</a> physical paper documents– to recover the bygone past, claiming that, as opposed to people's memories, objects remain stable in what they say about the era they witnessed, and therefore represent a better insight into <a href="/wiki/Objective_reality" class="mw-redirect" title="Objective reality">objective reality</a>.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> In the 20th century, the <a href="/wiki/Annales_school" title="Annales school">Annales School</a> emphasized the importance of shifting focus away from the perspectives of influential <a href="/wiki/Man" title="Man">men</a> –usually politicians around whose actions <a href="/wiki/Narrative" title="Narrative">narratives</a> of <a href="/wiki/Past" title="Past">the past</a> were shaped–, and putting it on the voices of ordinary people.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> <a href="/wiki/Postcolonialism" title="Postcolonialism">Postcolonial</a> streams of history challenge the colonial-postcolonial <a href="/wiki/Dichotomy" title="Dichotomy">dichotomy</a> and critique <a href="/wiki/Eurocentrism" title="Eurocentrism">Eurocentric academia</a> practices, such as the demand for historians from colonized regions to anchor their local narratives to events happening in the territories of their colonizers to earn <a href="/wiki/Credibility" title="Credibility">credibility</a>.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> All the streams explained above try to uncover whose voice is more or less truth-bearing and how historians can stitch together versions of it to best explain what "<a href="/wiki/Past" title="Past">actually happened.</a>" <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Trouillot">Trouillot</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Subjectivity_and_objectivity_(philosophy)&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Trouillot" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> The anthropologist <a href="/wiki/Michel-Rolph_Trouillot" title="Michel-Rolph Trouillot">Michel-Rolph Trouillot</a> developed the concepts of historicity 1 and 2 to explain the difference between the <a href="/wiki/Materiality_(social_sciences_and_humanities)" title="Materiality (social sciences and humanities)">materiality</a> of <a href="/wiki/Social" title="Social">socio</a>-<a href="/wiki/History" title="History">historical</a> processes (H1) and the narratives that are told about the materiality of socio-historical processes (H2).<a href="#cite_note-auto-18">[18]</a> This distinction hints that H1 would be understood as the <a href="/wiki/Fact" title="Fact">factual</a> reality that elapses and is captured with the concept of "<a href="/wiki/Truth" title="Truth">objective truth</a>", and that H2 is the collection of <a href="/wiki/Subjectivity" class="mw-redirect" title="Subjectivity">subjectivities</a> that <a href="/wiki/Hegemony" title="Hegemony">humanity</a> has stitched together to grasp the past.

Culture is a living totality of the subjectivity of any given society constantly undergoing transformation.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> Subjectivity is both shaped by it and shapes it in turn, but also by other things like the economy, political institutions, communities, as well as the natural world. Though the boundaries of societies and their cultures are indefinable and arbitrary, the subjectivity inherent in each one is palatable and can be recognized as distinct from others. Subjectivity is in part a particular experience or organization of <a href="/wiki/Reality" title="Reality">reality</a>, which includes how one views and interacts with humanity, objects, consciousness, and nature, so the difference between different cultures brings about an alternate experience of existence that forms life in a different manner.
