Removing personal emotions from science and research

[paoladm (PDM)]

Greetings, IGDORE, I take the opportunity to follow up on a related discussion (On Language and peacebuilding) - Sometimes a research interest is triggered by a personal event, or a personal emotion. But should scientific inquiry be able to remove the subjective bias and crate objective frameworks of reference?. This reflection relates initially to the the benefits and value of using non violent language in communication in general. When it comes to research however, the ability to create not only an objective viewpoint but also using a suitable language for doing this, so that a researcher learns how to avoid writing their own feelings and emotions in the communication describing their research. From a research viewpoint, could writing one’s own emotions into the communication describing their project, could result in lack of scientific validity of the arguments. Is that so? (discuss?)
