Margarita Levin proposes to defend objectivity.
objectivity = "intersubjectively accessible knowledge, ... truly independent of anyone's biases, traditions, wishes, or other influences." (P 213a)
She argues against nihilism.
nihilism (in this discussion) = "the thesis that there is no fixed reality" (P 213a)
She also argues against skepticism.
skepticism = "the thesis that we can't know what that reality is" (P 213a)
