TOC right Will , in philosophy philosophical discussions, consonant with a common English usage, refers to a property of the mind, and an attribute of acts intention intentionally performed. Actions made according to a person s will are called willing or voluntary and sometimes pejoratively willful . In general, Will does not refer to one particular or most preferred desire but rather to the general capacity to have such desiderata and act decisively to achieve them, according to whatever criteria the willing agent applies.

Unreferenced date January 2009 Historical subject is in itself an oxymoron . If, in philosophy , a subjectphilosophysubject supposes a non historical presence, an eternity eternal substance, then how could the subject be historicized without keeping the ahistorical, essential core of this subject on which change occurs? Nietzsche s critique of the subject is based in the rejection of an existing substance in favor of forces and wills combining to form combinations, sometimes in the form of a consciousness . Heidegger later traced the concept of subject to the metaphysical concept of Substance philosophy ousia to demonstrate the impossibility of eliminating the subject by simply historicizing it. The modern definition of subjectivity, according to Heidegger, recovered Kant s definition of the substance in the Critique of Pure Reason and Aristotle s definition of ousia in Metaphysics . The term historical subject is also used by Michel Foucault , as a concept opposed to the eternal and transcendence philosophy transcendent subject of the juridical and philosophical discourse , yet still identified as an object.

Multiple issues orphan March 2010 essay May 2009 cleanup May 2009 SubjectSUBJECT consciousness , a concept proposed by Harry Hay believed by Hay to be queer people s unique perspective on the world. Hay saw heterosexual society existing in a subject object dynamic where men, who had the culturally acceptable power, saw only themselves as subject and therefore higher than women, who were treated as objects and property. Hay extrapolated this interpersonal sexual dynamic male power female subordinate into a broader social context, believing that the subject object relationship was the driving force behind most all of societies ills. Objectification served as a barrier, emotionally separating an individual subject from another individual by dehumanizing them, making them object. When Hay looked at homosexual relationships, however, he saw a different dynamic at work. He believed that homosexual relationships were based on mutual respect and empathy for the other, a longing for a companion who was as equally valuable as the self. Hay termed this interpersonal sexual dynamic subjectSUBJECT which Hay capitalized for emphasis in all of his writings . He believed that this subjectSUBJECT way of viewing the world was queer people s most valuable contribution to the greater society. By empathizing with all people, relating to each other as equal to equal, society would change drastically and social injustices would be eradicated. Bibliography Harry Hay, Will Roscoe ed.
