An Archimedean point is a hypothetical viewpoint from which certain objective truths can perfectly be perceived or a reliable starting point from which one may reason. In other words, a view from an Archimedean point describes the ideal of removing oneself from the object of study so that one can see it in relation to all other things while remaining independent of them.
