subjektiivisellä

Subjektiivinen is a Finnish word that translates to subjective in English. It refers to something that is based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions. In contrast to objective, which is based on facts and is unbiased, subjective experiences are unique to the individual experiencing them.

This concept is important in many fields, including philosophy, psychology, and art. In philosophy, it relates to the nature of consciousness and how we perceive reality. In psychology, it is crucial for understanding individual experiences, emotions, and motivations. In art, subjectivity allows for diverse interpretations and appreciation of creative works, as viewers bring their own backgrounds and perspectives to the experience.

When something is described as subjective, it means that it cannot be universally proven or disproven, as it depends on the individual's internal state. For example, one person might find a particular piece of music beautiful (a subjective judgment), while another might not (also a subjective judgment). Similarly, pain is a subjective experience; while its cause might be objectively identifiable, the intensity and quality of the pain are felt differently by each individual. Recognizing the subjective nature of certain experiences is key to understanding human interaction and the diversity of human perception.
