subjektivism

Subjektivism is a philosophical stance that emphasizes the role of the individual subject in the creation of meaning or reality. It suggests that certain truths or values are dependent on the perspective of the person experiencing them. This is in contrast to objectivism, which posits that truths and values exist independently of individual minds. Subjektivism can manifest in various ways. In ethics, for instance, ethical subjektivism holds that moral judgments are expressions of personal feelings or attitudes rather than objective facts. What one person considers right, another might consider wrong, and neither is objectively incorrect. In epistemology, it can relate to the idea that knowledge is inherently tied to the knower's subjective experience and consciousness. This doesn't necessarily deny the existence of an external world, but rather asserts that our access to and understanding of it is always mediated through our individual perceptions and interpretations. The implications of subjektivism can range from promoting tolerance and individual freedom to concerns about relativism and the potential for moral or epistemic anarchy.
