    Axiom 1: We are Human
    Axiom 2: Humans have a subjective view of objective Reality
    Axiom 3: Humans are imperfect

    Therefore:

    Argument 1: Our notions, opinions, and perspectives on objective Reality are imperfect
    Argument 2: Our notions, opinions, and perspectives on objective Reality must be incorrect or lacking to some degree
    Argument 3: Some of our notions, opinions, and perspectives may align with objective Reality to some degree, but we cannot know with certainty that they do

    Are there are any good books, treatises, or articles that talk about this general area?

    What would you say are the criteria for perfection?

    I wasn’t asked, but nonetheless: if by “perfection” of a thing it is meant the ascension to the “perfect” idea of that thing, than the formal criterion for “perfection” would be that for which a change in the thing is not impossible.

    I wouldn't put it past a philosopher to write a book about something so utterly banal and obvious, but why would you want to read it?
