Don't know why I forgot, but Michel Foucault is another example of the
Objective POV or Perspective. I don't imagine it is this ovjective POV
(I guess we could say good, although I would say scientific
scholarhsip, that comes to mind when one thinks of Foucault... He has,
after all, been ripped to shreds for his sloppy scholarship, and
justifyably), but this is because he is an existentialist and most of
the time we find the Subjective POV in the existentialist and Sophists
if you don't mind the negatives associated with that classification.
This puts Muchel Foucault in with Freud and Shakespeare. Not bad
company. We can see the Objective very clearly in his essay What is an
Author?
