Subjectivism as defended here is 'imaginativist'. It is realist with regard to tertiary qualities, directly so regarding everyday tertiary qualities of actions and persons (because empathy is part of embodied perception), and indirectly so with regard to aesthetic properties, which I take to be represented tertiary qualities (because represented tertiary qualities must be re-enacted spontaneously by imagination). Regarding aesthetic evaluation my brand of subjectivism is idealist. (II:4; IV:7; VIII:5).© Rob van Gerwen
