Outside Reading 1--Matt Brennan

(Taken from suggested reading, I and Thou)
“The world is twofold for the man in accordance with his twofold attitude.”
This seems to be the basis for I and Thou, and it seems to be saying something about the difference between the objective and subjective. The truth seen from this is that man in particular is constantly making choices—day to day, and big picture choices. But the question is whether people make these choices by taking the variables into account objectively or subjectively. The fact that we are able to reason using these two different methods provides that the world is then ‘twofold’ in response. I think this could be misconstrued that the world is the one that sometimes changes, but instead I believe that we create the second fold when we view our different options either objectively or subjectively.
