Positivistic paradigm maintains objectivity as one of the the most venerable rules in research. However, phenomenological perspective sets to use subjectivity as its strenght, referring to what Kuhn suggests that there is no objectivity in any human enterprise. In reality, however, knowing the position of objectivity - subjectivity continuum is much more compelling rather than keeping the single belief. This is what I understood from the neverending debate over positivistic vs phenomenological perspectives. It thus remains our own interpretation: as far as we can maintain our warranted claims and rigor, it is going to be fine.
