"What really exist are problems—not subjects but problems. And when someone is interested in a problem and wants to solve it, then there is something that is really serious." http://www.the-rathouse.com/Intro-Philos-Sci/2-Method.html …

Hmm. Quibbling with my quibble, I like your quote more & more. Insofar as a subject is live, active, it really is defined by a set of problems - and, even more important - a surrounding narrative around them. Maybe narrative + problems + deep principles is a good conception?
Very excited by this conception! Particularly if one conceives of problems as not just problems narrowly conceived, but as a surrounding penumbra of folklore, partial progress, and so on.

:), I don't know. That little bit struck me, and that's why I shared it. Need to think about it...
