RE: Subjectivity is a construct, as well

As we use it, the concept of subjectivity can be traded back to Descartes, as far as I know.

Then, as among the proud objectivists here, it was framed in a suspicious light as something that could be overcome by objective rationality. The promise of the Enlightenment.

I'd avoid the word entirely except it is in vogue around the DIY forums.

The notion of a socio-cultural construct is much more multidimensional and robust, incorporating the cognitive aspects associated with the other word, plus the notions that it is shared (social) and also that a certain "objective" dimension is formed as people put these beliefs to work in the world of social action.

As one of my wisest teachers told me, "What man believes to be true, is true in its consequences."
