In metaph .: ( a ) A real thing to which given characters relate and in which they are said to inhere. subject In the first syllogism of transcendental psychology reason imposes upon us an apparent knowledge only, by representing the constant logical subject of thought as the knowledge of the real subject in which that knowledge inheres. Of that subject , however, we have not, and cannot have, the slightest knowledge, because consciousne is that which alone changes representations into thoughts, and in which, therefore, as the transcendental subject , all our perceptions must be found. Beside this logical meaning of the I, we have no knowledge of the subject in itself which forms the substratum and foundation of it and of all our thoughts. Kant, Critique of Pure Reason, tr. by Müller (Cente[nary ed.), II. 305. The particular modes in which I now feel, desire, and think arise out of the modes in which I have previously done so; but the common characteristic of all these has been that in them a subject was conscious of itself as its own object, and thus self-determined.

Subject, Theme, Topic, Point, Thesis. The first three of these words are often popularly used as exactly synonymous. Daniel Webster puts within a few lines of each other the two following sentences: [If an American Thucydides should arise,) "may his theme not be a Peloponnesian war," and [American history) "will furnish no topic for a Gibbon." Yet, strictly in rhetoric, and more often in general use, subject is the broad word for anything written or spoken about, while theme is the word for the exact and generally narrower statement of the subject. A topic is a still narrower subject; there may be several interesting topics suggested under a single subject. A point is by its primary meaning the smallest po ible subdivision under a subject. Thesis is a technical word for a subject which takes the form of an proposition 6021 Church discipline [in Germany] was subjected to State approval; and a power of expelling rebellious clergy from the country was established.
