intersubjectivity

Pp.93-99
Emman Jinon-Eli Saez
• We must be aware of
ourselves as rational
individuals capable of
determined and reasonable
action. Interpersonal relations
are made possible when self
becomes aware of other,
which includes everyone and
everything outside of self.
• Our human nature not only
enables us to recognize the
self that defines our
individuality, it also enables us
to recognize that other
humans also possess a self.
• We can relate meaningfully
with other people since we
consider ourselves as essentially
the same. This notion of
recognizing the self in the other
is how philosophers define
interpersonal relations.
• Interaction between self and
others is related to the concept
of INTERSUBJECTIVITY. It is
defined as the mutual
recognition of each other as a
person.
• It also carries the meaning of a
unique relationship between
distinct subjects which refers to
the characteristic of the human
person to engage in intimate
and personal relationships.
• Having an INNER LIFE OF
INTERIORITY allows a person to
give himself or herself to others.
It also allows individuals to
receive others in his or her life
and relate with them.

( self-consciousness is the defining
characteristic of the self-other relationship)
• The way we act with other people is often
influenced by our ideas of how these people
see us
