Subjectivism is the belief that reality is not a firm absolute, but a fluid,
plastic, indeterminate realm which can be altered, in whole or in part, by the
consciousness of the perceiver—i.e., by his feelings, wishes or whims. It is
the doctrine which holds that man—an entity of a specific nature, dealing with
a universe of a specific nature—can, somehow, live, act and achieve his goals
apart from and/or in contradiction to the facts of reality, i.e., apart from
and/or in contradiction to his own nature and the nature of the universe. (This
is the “mixed,” moderate or middle-of-the-road version of subjectivism. Pure or
“extreme” subjectivism does not recognize the concept of identity, i.e., the
fact that man or the universe or anything possesses a specific nature.)
