A GAME!
 HOW TO PLAY SING ME A
SONG
• Begin with a bowl of words. In turn, each player draws a slip from the bowl and sings the
song that has the same beginning of the drawn words.
• The group is given thirty seconds to think of a song, and if the answer is correct, then the
group is allocated a point.
• If a group does not provide a song correctly with the drawn word within the time limit, the
other team can try to sing the given words and steal the point.
• The group with the most points wins the game.
INTERPERSONA
L RELATION
 Interpersonal Relations
Interpersonal relations are made
possible when the SELF becomes
aware of the OTHER – which
includes everyone and everything
outside of the self.
Your Turn! • You begin talking to your
Which of the following classmates, telling him or her
actions are more about a funny experience you had
reasonable? in school.
• You begin talking to the ballpen
on your desk, telling it about a
funny experience you had in
school.
 INTERSUBJECTIVITY
• Our human nature not only enables us to recognize the
SELF that defines our individuality, it also enables us to
recognize that the other human beings also possess a SELF.
• We are able to relate meaningfully with other human
beings because we consider ourselves as ESSENTIALLY
THE SAME
• Interpersonal relations – according to philosophers, is the
notion of recognizing the self in the other
• Hence, INTERSUBJECTIVITY is the mutual recognition
of each other as persons; a unique relationship between
distinct subjects.
 INTERSUBJECTIVITY
A unique relationship
between distinct subjects.
It refers to the characteristics of a 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.
Levels of "SELF-
OTHER"
Interactions
 1st Level
The simple awareness of
the existence of the
other.
 2nd Level
The awareness of
self as being seen by
others.
 The awareness of "self in the other" is an
important element in all other aspects of
interpersonal interactions. The way we act
with other people is often influenced by our
ideas of how these people see us.
• Actions where an individual
presents himself or herself in a
certain way when dealing with
others. SEEMIN
• Persons take on “roles” or act out
characters when dealing with
certain people or when in certain
G
situations. This is considered an
unconscious, natural act on the
part of humans
 • Is what characterizes deeper and more
genuine interaction
• Is made possible when the SELF realizes
DIALOG that the OTHER is a genuine and unique
individual.
UE • When two individuals begin to view
each other as persons, that is, truly
acknowledging each other’s presence,
then that is the beginning of an authentic
relationship and a dialogue.
 HOW DOES
INTERSUBJECTIVITY
DEFINE OUR
INTERACTIONS WITH
OTHER
PERSONS?
 EMPATHY
This emotion is driven by a person's awareness
that the other is a person with thoughts and
feelings. It enables us to experience another
person's emotions, such as happiness, anger, and
sadness, in a manner of speaking, sympathy is
"feeling with' and empathy is "feeling in.”
 AVAILABILITY
or the willingness of a
person to be present and
be at the disposal of
another.
 ETHICS FOR CARE
Is an ethical theory that emphasizes the moral
dimension of relationships and interactions. This
moral perspective encourages individuals to help
other people, most especially the vulnerable. It
believes that people have a moral obligation to
respond to the needs of other people, and one
cannot turn a blind eye to the problems of others.
 Alienation
Arises when someone stops seeing the
other as a unique and genuine person and
instead sees them as a mere object or a way
to satisfy their own personal interests.
 HOW CAN
PHILOSOPHY HELP
YOU EVALUATE
YOUR
RELATIONSHIP
 Intersubjectivity values involve
accepting differences and embracing
diversity. Each person is unique,
resulting in differences in physical
traits, behavior, views, beliefs, and
ideas. Recognizing shared humanity and
dignity unites us, driving us to extend
kindness and respect to others.

intersubjectivity?

acknowledge each other’s presence and treat each other
as equals.
• Empathy is an important aspect of intersubjectivity and

others.

present for another and to render assistance to another.
