There are two distinctions....The first is the distinction between those features of a world that are observer independent and those that are observer dependent or observer relative....In general, the natural sciences deal with observer-independent phenomena, the social sciences with the observer dependent....
So there are two distinctions to keep in mind, first between observer-independent and observer-dependent phenomena, and second between original and derived intentionality. They are systematically related: derived intentionality is always observer-dependent.
