Kanji 観 outlook, look, appearance 的 bull's eye, mark, target Related words 独断的 implies imposing one's own view dogmatically without regard for others' input, whereas 主観的 simply means the view is coloured by personal perspective, without necessarily being pushy.
主観的 is the everyday word for 'subjective' (based on personal opinion), while 主体的 in this same academic sense focuses on the acting/perceiving subject rather than mere opinion.
Etymology From 主観 (subjectivity, personal view) + 的 (-like, -ive). 主観 is composed of 主 (master, main) and 観 (view, outlook).
