Metaphysical subjectivism is the theory that perception creates reality, and that there is no underlying, true, reality that exists independent of perception. Can also hold that it is consciousness rather than perception that creates reality. This is in contrast to metaphysical objectivism. |

I think the above view of what subjectivism might represent the caricature of subjectivism that people sometimes bandy about, but I don't see how it's philosophically interesting. I'll have to work on this article at some later date. See [this link] to get an idea of how little this phrase, 'metaphysical subjectivism', is even used. The view described is similar to (but a caricature of) what is known by philosophers as 'phenomenalism?' or '[subjective idealism]?'. Any discussion of that view should mention George Berkeley, Gottfried Leibniz, and David Hume before Churchill. --LMS |
