	"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 [[emotions\|feelings]], wishes, or whims. It is the doctrine which holds that man -- an entity of a [[Man's Nature\|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" [Ayn Rand, "Who is the Final Authority in Ethics?"

	Subjectivism, in terms of morality, is a philosophical position that advocates no centralized or true authority in regards to value judgments. Therefore, advocates of subjectivism do not generally judge values held by others. Essentially, arguments formulated by subjectivists include: “What’s true for you, may not be true for me,” and “it’s better not to judge.”		Subjectivism, in terms of morality, is a philosophical position that advocates no centralized or true authority in regards to value judgments.
