Bag of Worms Yet Words struggles to make sense of Subjectivity:

It is true also that in the first half of the twentieth century, before the Brown decision, psychology, as in Freud, child psychology, and psychological therapeutics, and philosophy, as in the phenomenological tradition of Heidegger and Sartre, made subjectivity a central concern.

The Brown decision is central concern on this blog. Subjectivity was a central concern of Heidegger's, but for different reasons from Sartre.

As Heidegger sees it, the subjectivistic view was adopted by the most prominent figures in modern philosophy and, in fact, formed the axis of the modern philosophic tradition.
...
[S]ujectivism not only leaves the nature of man unquestioned, but blocks all further ontological inquiry and brings philosophy to a dead end.
