The Subject (n.) is that in us which is incompatible with itself insofar as it involves a troubled mediating function between action and perception (the exterior world) and emotion and affect (the interior world).
The Subject (n.) is both a living thing and an element of the problem it is solving; it cannot step outside the situation to resolve it.
The Subject (n.) is both an individual and more than one, which is why it is at odds with itself.
The Subject (n.) is not the opposite of the object; it is three phases of being folded into one: the preindividual, the individual, and the transindividual.
The Subject (n.) is a living thing that pictures itself in the world as at once a piece of the world and one of its directions.
