主観性 30 सेकंड में
- Subjectivity (主観性) is the quality of personal perspective.
- It contrasts with objectivity (客観性) in formal contexts.
- Used in art, science, and philosophy to discuss bias.
- Grammatically a noun, often paired with 'strong' or 'exclude'.
The word 主観性 (しゅかんせい - Shukansei) is a sophisticated Japanese noun that translates directly to 'subjectivity.' In its most fundamental sense, it refers to the quality or state of being influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions rather than external facts. In the Japanese language, this term is built from three powerful kanji: 主 (master/subject), 観 (view/outlook), and 性 (nature/quality). Therefore, etymologically, it describes the 'nature of the master's view'—the world as seen through the lens of the individual self.
- Academic Context
- In Japanese academia, especially in philosophy and psychology, 主観性 is used to discuss the internal experience of the mind. It is the opposite of 客観性 (kyokkansei - objectivity).
- Art and Criticism
- When discussing art, music, or literature, Japanese critics use this word to acknowledge that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They might argue that a piece of art's value is defined by the viewer's 主観性.
芸術の評価には、どうしても個人の主観性が入り込んでしまう。(Individual subjectivity inevitably enters into the evaluation of art.)
You will encounter this word frequently in formal debates, scientific papers (often when discussing the need to eliminate bias), and deep psychological discussions. It is not a word used lightly in daily conversation like 'opinion' (意見 - iken) or 'thought' (考え - kangae). Instead, it describes the abstract concept of personal perspective itself. For example, if someone says a report lacks objectivity, they might say it is 'clouded by subjectivity' (主観性に囚われている).
この研究の弱点は、データの解釈における主観性を排除できていない点だ。(The weakness of this research is that it has not been able to exclude subjectivity in the interpretation of data.)
Using 主観性 correctly requires understanding its grammatical role as a noun. It often pairs with specific verbs like 排除する (haiju suru - to exclude), 介入する (kainyuu suru - to intervene/interfere), and 基づく (motozuku - to be based on). Because it is a formal term, the surrounding grammar should typically match a formal or neutral register (Desu/Masu or Da/De-aru).
- As a Subject
- 主観性が強い (shukansei ga tsuyoi) means 'subjectivity is strong,' implying someone is very biased or their personal view dominates the situation.
- As an Object
- 主観性を重んじる (shukansei o omonjiru) means 'to value subjectivity,' often used in creative fields where personal vision is vital.
歴史学者は、過去の出来事を記述する際に主観性をできるだけ抑える必要がある。(Historians need to suppress subjectivity as much as possible when describing past events.)
It is also important to distinguish between the noun 主観性 and the adjectival form 主観的 (shukanteki - subjective). Use the noun when discussing the concept itself and the adjective when describing a specific judgment or person. For example: 'That is a subjective opinion' would be 'それは主観的な意見だ' (Sore wa shukanteki na iken da). 'Subjectivity is necessary for art' would be '芸術には主観性が必要だ' (Geijutsu ni wa shukansei ga hitsuyou da).
個人の主観性を尊重することは、現代の教育において重要な要素となっている。(Respecting individual subjectivity has become an important element in modern education.)
In Japan, you won't hear a toddler use 主観性, nor will you likely hear it at a casual drinking party (nomikai) unless the conversation turns toward philosophy or media criticism. However, it is a staple of the 'intellectual' landscape of Japan. If you watch NHK documentaries, read the editorial section of the Asahi Shimbun, or listen to university lectures, this word will appear frequently.
- In the Courtroom
- Lawyers might argue about the 'subjectivity of a witness's testimony' (証言の主観性), suggesting that the memory might be distorted by personal feelings.
- In Corporate Strategy
- During high-level meetings, a manager might warn against making decisions based on 'pure subjectivity' (純粋な主観性) and urge the team to look at the 'data' (データ).
ジャーナリズムにおいて、完全な客観性は不可能であり、記者の主観性がどう反映されるかが問題だ。(In journalism, complete objectivity is impossible, and the issue is how the reporter's subjectivity is reflected.)
You might also hear this word in the context of 'Subjective Well-being' (主観的幸福感 - shukanteki koufukan), a term used in social sciences to describe how happy people *feel* they are, regardless of their material wealth. This highlights how the word is used to categorize internal states that cannot be measured by a ruler or a scale.
The most common mistake learners make with 主観性 is confusing it with simpler words for 'opinion' or 'selfishness.' While subjectivity involves personal views, it is a neutral, descriptive term, whereas 'wagamama' (selfishness) is a negative character trait.
- Confusion with 意見 (Iken)
- Don't say 'My subjectivity is...' when you mean 'My opinion is...' Use 'shukansei' when discussing the *nature* of being subjective, not to state what you think.
- Misusing the Particle
- Learners often say '主観性をある' (shukansei o aru), which is incorrect. Use '主観性がある' (shukansei ga aru) to mean 'there is subjectivity.'
Incorrect: 彼の主観性はわがままだ。
Correct: 彼の判断は主観性が強すぎる。(His judgment is too subjective.)
Another mistake is forgetting the 'sei' (性). In English, we can say 'that is subjective' (adjective) or 'that is his subjectivity' (noun). In Japanese, using just 'shukan' (主観) is possible but usually refers to the 'subject' in a philosophical sense. For the quality of being subjective, 'shukansei' is the standard noun. Also, be careful not to confuse it with 'shukan' (週間 - week) or 'shukan' (習慣 - habit), which have the same reading but completely different kanji and meanings.
To master 主観性, you should understand how it compares to its synonyms and its direct opposite. Japanese has several words that touch upon the idea of personal perspective, but each has a distinct 'flavor' and register.
- 客観性 (Kyokkansei)
- The direct antonym meaning 'objectivity.' These two are almost always taught together in Japanese schools. If you know one, you must know the other.
- 独断 (Dokudan)
- This means 'arbitrary decision' or 'dogmatism.' While subjectivity is neutral, 'dokudan' is often negative, implying someone made a choice without consulting others or ignoring facts.
- 偏見 (Henken)
- Meaning 'prejudice' or 'bias.' Subjectivity is the broad category; prejudice is a specific, usually harmful, type of subjectivity.
科学的な分析には、主観性よりも客観性が求められる。(In scientific analysis, objectivity is required more than subjectivity.)
When you want to sound less academic, you might use 'kojin teki na iken' (personal opinion) or 'omoi' (feelings/thoughts). However, in a professional or written context, using 'shukansei' shows a high level of Japanese proficiency and an ability to engage with abstract concepts.
How Formal Is It?
रोचक तथ्य
The word 'Shukan' was popularized in the Meiji era as Japanese scholars struggled to translate Western philosophical terms like 'Subject' and 'Subjectivity' from German and English.
उच्चारण मार्गदर्शिका
- Pronouncing 'sei' like 'see'. It should be 'say'.
- Over-stressing the 'kan' like English 'CAN'. Keep it balanced.
- Confusing it with 'shukan' (weekly).
- Shortening the 'u' in 'shu' too much.
- Failing to pronounce the 'n' in 'kan' clearly before 's'.
कठिनाई स्तर
The kanji are medium difficulty, but the concept is abstract and formal.
Writing '観' correctly requires practice due to many strokes.
Pronunciation is straightforward, but finding the right context to use it is tricky.
Easy to hear, but can be confused with other 'shukan' words.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालNo, it is not inherently bad. In creative fields like art or literature, 主観性 is essential for originality. However, in scientific or legal contexts, it is often seen as something to be minimized to ensure fairness and accuracy.
主観 (shukan) is 'subjectivity' or the 'subject' (the person perceiving). 主観性 (shukansei) is the 'quality' or 'nature' of being subjective. In most sentences, they are similar, but 主観性 is more common when discussing the *extent* of subjectivity (e.g., 'strong subjectivity').
You could say 'それはあなたの主観にすぎない' (Sore wa anata no shukan ni suginai), which means 'That is nothing more than your subjectivity.' It sounds quite formal and a bit cold.
No. For selfishness, use 'わがまま' (wagamama) or '自己中心的' (jiko chuushinteki). 主観性 refers to the perspective, not the behavior of putting oneself first.
Yes, it typically appears at the N2 level, but the concept and adjectival form '主観的' are useful for N3 as well.
The 'n' (ん) in 'kan' is a nasal sound. Since it is followed by 's' (in 'sei'), your tongue should move toward the roof of your mouth, similar to the 'n' in 'answer'.
The most common opposite is 客観性 (kyokkansei), meaning 'objectivity.' Another related opposite is 普遍性 (普遍性), meaning 'universality.'
Generally, it is used for humans as it implies conscious thought and personal perspective. However, in advanced biology or philosophy, one might discuss the 'subjectivity' of an animal's experience.
It is common in media, books, and formal discussions, but you won't hear it much in casual daily conversations about what to eat for lunch.
No, Japanese nouns do not change for plural. Context tells you if you are talking about one person's subjectivity or subjectivities in general.

Summary
主観性 (shukansei) represents the internal, personal lens through which we experience reality. Unlike facts, it is unique to the individual. Example: '芸術の評価は主観性に委ねられる' (The evaluation of art is left to subjectivity).
- Subjectivity (主観性) is the quality of personal perspective.
- It contrasts with objectivity (客観性) in formal contexts.
- Used in art, science, and philosophy to discuss bias.
- Grammatically a noun, often paired with 'strong' or 'exclude'.
Use with 'Strong' or 'Weak'
To describe how subjective something is, use '主観性が強い' (strong subjectivity) or '主観性が弱い' (weak subjectivity).
Kanji Stroke Order
Pay special attention to '観'. It has 18 strokes. Practice the left part (20) and the right part (見) separately.
Pair with 'Objectivity'
Whenever you use 主観性 in an essay, try to mention 客観性 (objectivity) to show you are considering both sides of the issue.
Neutrality
Remember that 主観性 is a neutral word. Don't use it to mean 'wrong'—just that it's 'personal'.
