Encyclopedia Britannica



OBJECT

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 948 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
OBJECT and SUBJECT, in
philosophy
 , the terms used to denote respectively the external world and consciousness. The
term
  " object " (from Lat. ob, over against, and jacere, to throw) is used generally in
philosophy
  for that in which an activity of the mind ends, or towards which it is directed. With these may be compared the
ordinary
  uses of the
term
  for " thing " simply, or for that after which one strives, or at which one aims. " Subject," literally that which is " thrown under " (sub), is originally the material or content of a discussion or thought, but in philosophy is used for the thought or the thinking person. The relation between the thinking subject and the object thought is analogous to the grammatical
antithesis
  of the same terms: the " subject " of a verb is the person or thing from which the action proceeds, while the " object,"
direct
  or indirect, is the person or thing affected. The true relation between mind or thought (subject) and matter or extension (object) is the
chief
  problem of philosophy, and may be investigated from various standpoints (see
PSYCHOLOGY
  and METAPHYSICS). It should be observed that the philosophical use of " subject " is precisely the opposite of the common use. In
ordinary
  language the " subject " of discussion, of a poem, of a
work
  of art, is that which the
speaker
 , author or artist treats.
