objectivism

Any theory saying of a given subject-matter that it contains objects existing independently of human beliefs or attitudes, or that there are similarly independent truths in the area, or that there are methods of studying the area and arriving at truths within it which are not arbitrary and do not depend on the approach adopted or convenience of application and so on.

The contrast term is subjectivism. A halfway house exists when intersubjective agreement is possible; that is, agreement which does not depend on the position or attitudes of those in dispute, but does presuppose the existence of conscious experience.

There may be, for example, standard methods for establishing what color something is, even if without sighted creatures things might have no color (in the ordinary sense) at all.
