Education is a process by which we observe (subjective process) the facts (objective reality) so that we can correctly know. In other words, knowledge is the result of intellectually putting together objective reality by means of the subjective process. Thus, knowledge has both objective and subjective components.

Some assert that subjectivity is everything. They accurately contend that no one ever really knows anything unless the mind and senses have been employed. However, they then go on to assert that once an object of reality is removed from our immediate awareness or senses, it actually ceases to exist.

I am sitting at my desk. I get up and go out of the room. How do I know the desk is still in the room? Or, how do I know that the room or anything that I perceived to be in it is still there?

Subjectivist theory asserts that I cannot know, I can only assume that everything is still there. Of course, I can return and find things just as I left them, but while they were removed from my immediate perception and sense of awareness, they might have ceased to exist entirely, and are only brought back by my presence.

Subjectivist theory contends that the mind is all. This supposition seems to hold that all reality is nothing more than a creation of the mind. Reality is an hallucination; hallucination becomes reality.
