Intersubjectivity refers to the interchange of thoughts and feelings between two subjects, or persons, facilitated by empathy. It is the shared awareness and understanding between individuals, made possible by recognizing oneself and the other. Martin Buber and Karol Wojtylas viewed intersubjectivity as the concrete experience and existence of whole persons in relation to others, rejecting definitions of humans as composites of parts. They saw people as subjects oriented toward relationships and community.

INTERSUBJECTIVITY Intersubjectivity, a term originally coined by the philosopher Edmund Husserl (1859–1938), is most simply stated as the interchange of thoughts and feelings, both conscious and unconscious, between two persons or “subjects,” as facilitated by empathy. To understand intersubjectivity, it is necessary first to define the term subjectivity – i.e., the perception or experience of reality from within one’s own perspective (both conscious and unconscious) and necessarily limited by the boundary or horizon of one’s own worldview. INTERSUBJECTIVITY •It is the condition of man, a subject, among other men, who are also subjects.

awareness and understanding among persons.

awareness of the self and the other. SOCIAL VS.

• The human person establishes the world of mutual
relation of experience.
