I understand that this is a real problem. There is, however, a simple solution, which was suggested to me when I looked up the meaning of the word "subject" in Rudolf Eisler's Woerterbuch der Philosophie. Eisler describes the original meaning of the terms "subject" and "subjective" as follows: "Dieser aeltere Subjektbegriff ist der des substantiellen Traegers objektiver Eigenschaften, des objektiven Wirklichen im Unterschiede vom blosz vorgestellten "objectum" (s.d.) "Subjektum" ist die Uebersetzung des hypokeimenon (Unterliegenden) worunter Aristoteles sowohl das logische Subjekt als auch die Substanz als Eigenschaftstraeger versteht." Eisler, Rudolf, Woerterbuch der Philosophie 1930, Vol 3, p. 165 Consequently we may, on Aristotle's authority, replace not only in the Concluding Unscientific Postscript but also in all of Kierkegaard's other writings, the syllable "sub" with the syllable "ob", everywhere substituting "objective" for "subjective." We may then read "Objectivity is truth", which is what we really believe anyway, not to mention the fact that it's the right answer on the SAT, which we have to give if we want to get into college. The proposed emendation will make Kierkegaard's writings much easier to understand, will bring about objective and subjective improvement in the digestion of each of us, will alleviate any insomnia induced by reading Kierkegaard, and most important, will greatly enhance the sale of Kierkegaard's works, by making them required reading for courses in military and industrial psychology, human resources, public relations and advertising.
