Ding ding ding! Rawls is one of the folks I had in mind, of course. The other main author is Thomas Nagel. And note that neither of these authors, nor I, am saying that the only view worth taking is the objective view. Rawls has the idea of “reflective equilibrium,” and one of Nagel’s big projects is the integration of the subjective and the objective perspectives.
