G133

A subject of a proposition is that which in a proposition fills a blank of a rheme. It is a symbol which virtually describes sufficiently or insufficiently some mode of obtaining an index of a single object, to which the predicate of the proposition applies. Thus, "Any normal man loves some woman," tells the interpreter that any designation of whatever object he may pick out, provided it be a normal man, may, as being within the meaning of the proposition, be taken as its first subject; while an object insufficiently described as "a woman" will be the object referred to by its second subject or, in grammatical phrase, as its direct object.
