Perspectivism and Subjectivism

Phenomenalism can be classified as 'Subjectivist', since it conceives the elements of Experience to be fundamentally private and detached from any external correlates.  Thus, it is not be confused with Perspectivism, according to which Experience is fundamentally relational with an external world and its objects.  Another distinction between the two is that while, as has been previously discussed, a Perspective, and the propositions that express it, are mutable, the elements of Subjectivism can be fixed and unassailable, e. g. a dislike of broccoli.  So, a significant confusion is when a Social relation is interpreted Sujectivistically, rather than Perspectivistically, thereby immunizing judgments that express it from criticism, and preempting the possibility of modification. The likening of ethnic hate to a dislike of broccoli is an example of such a confusion, one that only perpetuates the former.
