WHAT DOES SUBJECTIVISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Subjectivism

Subjectivism is the philosophical tenet that "our own mental activity is the only unquestionable fact of our experience". The success of this position is historically attributed to Descartes and his methodic doubt. Subjectivism accords primacy to subjective experience as fundamental of all measure and law. In extreme forms like Solipsism, it may hold that the nature and existence of every object depends solely on someone's subjective awareness of it. One may consider the qualified empiricism of George Berkeley in this context, given his reliance on God as the prime mover of human perception. Thus, subjectivism.

Definition of subjectivism in the English dictionary

The first definition of subjectivism in the dictionary is the meta-ethical doctrine that there are no absolute moral values but that these are variable in the same way as taste is. Other definition of subjectivism is any similar philosophical theory, for example, about truth or perception. Subjectivism is also any theological theory that attaches primary importance to religious experience.
