Subject, philosophy: the subject is, in the most general sense, the originator of actions and creativity as well as bearer of ideas, beliefs, perceptions, feelings and moods. In the tradition of German idealism the subject is opposed to the object. More recently, there has been a shift in the focus of the discussion to questions of access to internal states. See also I, self, subjectivity, object, idealism, actions, action theory.

II 74
Thought/general/special/particulate/singular/Frege: one and the same thought can be understood as general, particulate or singular by various decompositions. The thought itself does not yet determine what the subject is.

Subject/predicate/concept/term scope/Frege: e.g. "All A are B". False: that A would be "subject" and B "predicate". Correct: the predicate is "part of the class".
"Some"/FregeVsSchröder: "some" is not a subject.
IV 98/99
"Some" does not always refer to the same part of a class. This leads to contradictions when regarded as a subject.
