subject (philosophy)

In philosophy, a subject is a being which has subjective experiences or a relationship with another entity (or "object"). A subject is an observer and an object is a thing observed. This concept is especially important in Continental philosophy, where 'the Subject' is a central term in debates over human autonomy and the nature of the self. In this tradition of thought, debates over the nature of the Subject play a role comparable to debates over personhood within Anglo-American analytical philosophy.
