Subjectivity and objectivity form a dialectical unity in knowledge

Evidence

On the other hand, the radical is never a subjectivist. For this individual the subjective aspect exists only in relation to the objective aspect (the concrete reality, which is the object of analysis). Subjectivity and objectivity thus join in a dialectical unity producing knowledge in solidarity with action, and vice versa. — Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 83
