subject-object
Doer and receiver
Subject-object describes a relationship or distinction between the one who perceives, acts, or thinks (the subject) and the thing perceived, acted upon, or thought about (the object).
In philosophy and psychology, the subject-object divide is fundamental to understanding consciousness and how we relate to the external world.
The term often appears in discussions of whether true objectivity is possible, given that every observation involves a subject.
The subject-object problem has occupied philosophers for centuries.
