Albert Camus

you mean literal techniques? can you say more or direct me to sources?

i think the word "objective" is often misleading bcuz its impossible to clear your mind of all subjective influence and i'm bothered by the fact that a lot of people seem to bullshit themselves into thinking they are objective and it can be really harmful. but its clear that some people are more subjective than others. which is weird, like biting your own teeth.

I meant we're supposed to detach ourselves from the object of our investigation/ analysis in order to grasp its real nature. I'm not sure about what you want to say here ... ofc everyone has a degree of subjectivity, but we were having a talk about interpretation of literature here and your comments just seem superfluous. No offense.

i'm saying its impossible to detach. if there are actual techniques people use to do so, i'd like to know about them.
