intersubjectivity meaning

1. INTERSUBJECTIVITY Introduction to the Philosophy of the Human Person Lesson 6

2. Intersubjectivity - refers to the shared awareness and understanding among persons. It is awareness of the self and other. The relationship between self and other enables the person to relate to the others and establish and maintain meaningful relationships.

3. Intersubjectivity Humans have the natural and universal tendency to relate, to establish attachments, and seek close relationships with other people. Our human nature drives us to reach out to other people and interact with them in meaningful ways.

4. How do we as human persons relate with others? Before we begin to relate with others, we must first be aware of ourselves as rational individuals capable of determined and reasonable action. Interpersonal relations are made possible when the self becomes aware of the other , which includes everyone and everything outside of the self.

5. The interaction between the self and the other is related to the philosophical concept of intersubjectivity , which is the mutual recognition of each other as a persons. It cannot be denied that we interact with other beings in the world, but some of these beings that we interact with are persons and must be recognized as such. Intersubjectivity also carries the meaning of “a unique relationship between distinct subjects”. It refers to the characteristic of the human person to engage in a very intimate and personal relationship with others who are different from him or her but who are also like him or her. This is possible because the person has an inner life or interiority.

6. Intersubjectivity also allows a person to become closer to others in many different ways. In everyday social interactions, persons have the ability to agree and cooperate with each other. There is also the experience of shared or “common” knowledge and shared emotions such as grief, joy, and love.

7. “seeming ”- where an individual presents himself or herself in a certain way when dealing with others. Persons take on “roles” or act out characters when dealing with certain people or when in certain situations.

8. What characterizes a genuine human interaction? Most human interactions, however, are not based on deception. Since our human nature drives us to uphold dignity and goodness, our interactions with others are also geared toward what is good and beneficial. These lead humans to strive to achieve deeper and more substantial interactions and relations with other people This deeper and more genuine interaction is called a dialogue and this is made possible when the self realizes that the other is a genuine and unique individual.

9. A dialogue is an interaction between persons that happens through speech or the use of words, expressions, and body language. The person is a being who is open to others and is capable of receiving others in a dialogue

10. How does intersubjectivity define our interactions with other persons? Philosophers agree that is important for humans to pursue and achieve genuine relationship to attain development. Human persons naturally seek and are able to achieve and maintain genuine, meaningful relations with each other. The human person is considered as a “being with others”, which means that his or her identity and destiny are shaped by relating with others. Humans exsistence is a continual dialogue with the other, and that the self becomes whole through interaction with other people and his or her surroundings.

12. Empathy Empathy or a ability to share emotions, is an important aspect of intersubjectivity . This emotion is driven by a person’s awareness that the other is a person with thoughts and feelings. Empathy enables us to experience another person’s emotion such as happiness , anger, and sadness. In manner of speaking, sympathy is “feeling with” and empathy is “feeling in” Empathy enables you not only to share your friend’s grief and offer him or her comfort during a difficult experience, but also to feel the grief of that person evenif it wasn’t your own relative’s death. Persons can also share more positive emotions such a joy and pride.
