definition of subjectivism

The word subjectivism is used when you want to account for the existence of a predominance of the subjective in the corresponding area.

Preponderance of subjectivity in the judgments and knowledge of a person that makes their ideas and experiences weigh more

The concept of subjective is very present in our language since it is a very common question in the lives of human beings, especially in their opinions.

In the subjective, the personal assessment of each individual will always predominate and is opposed to the concept of objective, since this is associated with the object, which is appreciated free of personal judgments, that is, the object is contemplated outside of personal influences.

Subjective knowledge will always be plagued by personal evaluations, feelings, and ideologies that prevail in the subject and not in the object, and also subjectivity will be influenced by the sociocultural environment to which the person belongs.

All this combined will burden the person and will not allow him to see or know the object devoid of all that many times.

We cannot avoid that subjectivity is always associated with partiality while the objective has an indisputable and partial valuation.

Philosophical doctrine that only validates what the subject claims to know

Also, subjectivism is called that philosophical doctrine that limits the validity of knowledge to the subject who knows, that is, subjectivism is a position that takes as a primary question for any truth, or failing that morality, the psychic and material individuality of a given subject, which is conceives as always variable and impossible to ever become an absolute and universal truth.

In subjectivism the validity of a thought is limited to the subject in question who knows or judges and does so mainly according to his understanding and closely linked to the reality that he has to live, that is, to his environment, to social interaction that he maintains with other subjects.

The interpretations that a person makes on any aspect will only be accessible to the person who experiences them, since the same experience can be lived differently by each individual as a consequence of the different realities they possess.

On his side the ethical subjectivism or moral subjectivism, as it is also known, is a doctrine of a philosophical ethical type that maintains that the good and the bad in morality is reducible to our personal attitudes and opinions, that is, if I believe that such a thing is good, then that such thing thing in my hands will be good for me. David Hume, Scottish-born philosopher, economist and historian , who lived between the years 1711 and 1776, is recognized as one of the most prominent exponents of ethical subjectivism.

Since its inception, philosophy has been questioned on this subject and it was the main philosophers of classical Greece who have done so, from Plato, through Socrates and Aristotle, and all those who followed, in the meantime, all have made reference to the limitation proposed by subjectivity.

A posture that limits man

Because the subjective view, which is loaded with our personal opinions, experiences and evaluations will be just plagued and influenced by these and may not let us see something "cleanly".

By case it is that sometimes it is necessary to appeal to others, that they bring us an objective look at the issues and the people, more than anything when it turns out to be necessary to make crucial decisions, because if we are imbued with what we think we can stop seeing some important issues to consider.

Behavior that maintains that reality is created in the mentality of the person

And the other recurrent use of the word subjectivism allows to account for that attitude that defends that reality is created in the mind of the individual.
