We'll likely never achieve total unanimity of agreement concerning the whole of reality, but it remains possible (or at least plausible and worth seeking) to carve out areas of inter-subjective agreement. Thus, in addition to the old familiar categories of objectivity and subjectivity, let us add inter-subjectivity as the crucial sanity-saving alternative to both.
