A subject is the thing doing the thinking and an object is the thing thought about. Objects could be rocks, other people, intellectual concepts, social agreements, the Easter Bunny, or the idea of the MoQ. From your perspective, you will always be the subject. Everything that is 'not you' will always be the object - and sometimes, if you are thinking about yourself, you even become your own 'object' of inquiry.
