Answer 1

I really don't think you want my "own words". They would be something like; andoah bah ladada intoitionoid.
Subjective reality is a notion that would hold that; everyone lives in their own universe, or reality. Simply because you see it does not mean that it exists outside of your own mind. People that believe it, might also believe that truth is relative (which in itself is a conundrum because if all truth is relative then there is at least one non-relative truth; that truth is relative).
Okay so that was off topic. The argument as I understand it is: Everything is as I see it, and nothing more. So if I were to say that the world revolves around me in my universe, it would probably prove difficult for you to prove otherwise.

It is very hard for someone to convience another that there are facts in the world that are not evident in their own reality, but still hold true there. The argument stems from Descartes third meditation where he discovered the indubitandium "I doubt, therefore I am". The facts about existance pretty much ended there since it is a fact based on the ability to doubt all other things.
Let's go back to the argument itself, shall we?
I exist, and I have a mind.
I cannnot prove the existance of anything beyond the first permise.
Therefore, it is reasonable to doubt the existance of anything outside of my mind.

Serious questions are raised, in my mind at least, in this argument. If everything exists in my mind, then why am I sometimes surprised, or startled? shouldn't I be aware of everything that is in my mind? People have responded to these questions with counter examples abound, and by doing so have made them dubious, and therefore reasonable to doubt. It is possible that you are in fact not in front of a computer screen; reading my response to your question, but that you are only imagining that you are reading a response to a question, both of which are a product of your own mind.

I could draw up many examples of the like, but I don't really feel like going any further in the subject.

Update, As I see it Descartes, was only good for one thing, Cogito ergo sum. just look at what else he is famous for...Carteasian duelism, Carteasian circles, the man was a one hit wonder.

Answer 2

It is what a person perceives to be real. The important part is perception which is affected by a person's character and experiences. In a nutshell, what is real to one person might not be real to another. But this does not preclude agreement among people. Objective reality does exist so there's a point of commonality. If you think about it, subjective reality is just a modified (and a more interesting) version.

Answer 3

The view that reality emenates from the self (many selves). Ultimately its a flawed argument coz the various external factors mean that inter-subjectivity is the order underlying reality. Its view is crazy. You'll find all you need at the source below. This man above all else studied this point into the ground.

Answer 4

subjective reality is exclusive to the person conceiving it. it does not extend to the objective "outer" world. my take on reality is that it exists regardless of our interpretation of its existence. that a water has a boiling point of 100'c is true and should be true to anyone who will try to dip his hands into it. it is a matter-oriented universe.
on the other hand, subjective reality is man-oriented. religion, most philosophies, and world views are subjective. they do not hold water in a court of logic. for a subjective view to prosper the stupidity of men and in the case of religion faith is required.

Answer 5

An aspect of objective reality.
