Abstract

The literature on geosites inventorying and assessment methods often mentions the issue of objectivity but lacks a detailed discussion of its nature. Indeed, developments in the philosophy and practice of science have shown that objectivity is a complex, multifaceted concept, making its assessment challenging in specific situations. This paper, therefore, draws from this broader debate on objectivity in order to examine and possibly enhance its presence in the aforesaid methods.
