Subjectivism in Aesthetics

Subjectivism in aesthetics is the belief that beauty and artistic value are based on individual feelings, preferences, and experiences rather than objective standards. This means what one person finds beautiful or meaningful might differ greatly from another's perspective. In the context of aesthetic relativism, which suggests that these views are shaped by cultural and personal contexts, subjectivism emphasizes that there are no universal truths in art and beauty. Instead, each person's interpretations and judgments are valid, highlighting the diversity of human experience in appreciating art and beauty.
