Word origin

The term 'subjectivism' originated in the field of philosophy in the late 19th century. It stems from the Latin word 'subiectus', meaning 'brought under'. Subjectivism has been a topic of debate among philosophers, with proponents arguing for the importance of personal experiences in shaping reality, while critics question the objectivity of truth in such a framework.
