What is Subject and object (philosophy)?
[[Philosophy]] makes a basic distinction between a '''subject and an object''': * A ''subject'' does things, it acts, and can make experiences. It is situated in relation to other subjects that exist outside itself. * An ''object'' is a thing that is observed or experienced by a subject. As a subject may experience or observe other subjects, these are objects in the view of the observer. The first modern philosopher to make this distinction was [[René Descartes]]. He made a distinction between [[Mind–body problem|mind and matter]]. {{Stub}} [[Category:Philosophy]]
