‘Subject [in representation]’ (pub. 19.08.13-19:44). Quote in M. Bergman & S. Paavola (Eds.), The Commens Dictionary: Peirce's Terms in His Own Words. New Edition. Retrieved from http://www.commens.org/dictionary/entry/quote-logic-sciences-5.
Term: 
Subject [in representation]
Quote: 

Representation implies first an object represented; 2nd a mind or rather abstracting from the personal element, a representation (itself or other) to which it addresses itself. I call this the subject. 3rd a Ground or Reason which determines it to represent that object to that subject. We have nothing else implied in the representation as representation.
