In contemporary parlance, shouldn't the point be made this way: subjectivism as a metaethical doctrine is neutral between particularism and generalism, or perhaps between contextualism and absolutism? I realize that Brandt uses the term "relativism" to mean "contextualism" in the quoted source, and the sense of "relativism" is clearly defined (more or less) in the current Wikipedia article, but "relativism" just seems like the wrong term to use here, especially since this is not the sense of relativism that dominates the Wikipedia article on moral relativism. -- SCPhilosopher 20:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm taking out the reference to Jack Bauer; he's clearly more of a extreme anti-deontological consequentialist, not a subjectivist, so the reference is misleading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.230.88.80 ( talk) 02:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
This seems awfully narrow as an account of subjectivism, e.g, it leaves out emotivism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.82.240.159 ( talk) 15:07, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Can someone please clarify why ethical subjectivist theories must be cognitivist (i.e. propositional). Surely all non-cognitivist theories are subjectivist. How is emotivism, for example, not a subjectivist theory? 94.195.129.111 ( talk) 22:47, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
I can understand how subjectivism can refer to a number of theories. However, there isn't enough material here to clarify how subjectivism is a type of theory and individualist subjectivism is a token, or to explain the difference between the latter and any other token. The two articles appear identical. I propose a merge of the two articles, plus a short description of any other token. 94.195.129.111 ( talk) 22:44, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
The definitions of and relationship between relativism and subjectivism seems to vary by source, sometimes even within the same source. ZFT ( talk) 00:55, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
