Reality is subjective and objective.  But it is also local.  It is surprising that people have not noticed the fact that Kant provided a good framework to understand Quantum Mechanics long before QM was discovered.

Reality is local

Reality is Subjective and Objective.

Quantum mechanics says that no "real" state of affairs exists prior to the measurements.



philosophy became euphemism for crackpotsThat is A Reference Frame essay.
But the idea could be used for religion also. But I think there are exceptions.  And Kant was no crackpot. Just the opposite. Kant's idea of the dinge an sich the thing in itself strongly suggest quantum mechanics





Here is what Lubos says:The reason why quantum mechanics (and yes, "Copenhagen interpretation" is being used just as an insulting synonym for quantum mechanics: there exists no "other" quantum mechanics than one described by the Copenhagen school) is being "widely challenged" these days is that the postmodern system has failed to eliminate incompetent pseudointellectuals and populist demagogues from the wider physical environment – science journals and even universities (especially their philosophy departments but not only philosophy departments). This fact changes nothing whatsoever about the point that physics has perfectly understood the status of the wave function for 90 years (without a few months: I guess that I will celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Heisenberg et al. results this year).

Lubos:
 I agree that the laws are objective, but the reality - the particular history of this Universe - is fundamentally not objective. Whatever else aside from the physical laws is "objective" in your book must be unphysical because it can't be responsible for the results of observations.
