À propos de と考えられる

In order to express an objective opinion in Japanese, the expression と考(かんが)えられる will often be used. This is a combination of と, and the passive-indicating auxiliary verb られる. Common translations for this structure include 'can be considered as (A)', 'is thought to be (A)', or 'it is conceivable that (A)'.

As と考(かんが)えられる begins with と, this structure will frequently appear at the end of entire phrases, converting them into a quote.

When wanting to express a subjective opinion, と思(おも)われる will be used instead.

Caution

Compared to と考(かんが)えられている, と考(かんが)えられる focuses more on judgements, while the former is primarily used to illustrate widely accepted opinions.

Fun-fact

The primary difference between a subjective and objective opinion is that an objective opinion is primarily based on observable facts about the topic (unbiased and focuses on the object), while a subjective opinion is based more on emotions, feelings, or preferences (may be biased, regardless of what is actually true about the topic).

        You might already be aware of this, but these two grammar points are very similar but in different levels: とかんがえられている(N4 L10) and とかんがえられる(N2 L7). Was that on purpose? They seem very similar to be so far apart.

        安易に決定したと考えられるが、もしかしたら作戦かもしれません。
        It is thought that the decision made was to be easy-going, but it might just be a tactic.

        What does this mean? As in, what is an example situation?

        a. It is thought that the leadership made a decision for the organization to pretend to be easy-going, but actually it’s a tactic to lull the opposition into a false sense of security.

        b. The decision that the leadership made is thought to be made lightly/irresponsibly, but actually they are hiding some reasons that make it a perfectly sound decision.

        c. something else?
