    Inter Subjectivity PP T

    Uploaded by

    Monique Villasencio
    This document discusses intersubjectivity and its philosophical origins. Intersubjectivity refers to shared subjective experiences between individuals. It examines how we perceive we treat others versus how others feel they are treated. It explores the "problem of other minds" and whether we can deduce the consciousness of others. The document traces these issues back to Cartesian dualism, which separated mind and body. This led to internal and external worlds. Husserl's phenomenology was influenced by Cartesian dualism and sought to focus simply on what appears through consciousness rather than making assumptions beyond direct experience, to avoid stereotyping.

    INTERSUBJECTIVITY

    The way we treat others may not be necessarily be


    consistent with the way we think we treat others. Let us
    then validate the consistency of these two things:
    whether (1.) the way we treat others is consistent with
    the way we think we treat them, (2.) the way we treat
    others is consistent with the way others would like to be
    treated. Let us limit the other to three persons.
    (a.)relatives (b.) close friend (c.) acquaintance. First,
    identify who these three persons are, and write down how
    you think you treat these persons. Then ask these
    persons what they think about the way you treat them.
    Check your consistency of your answers to their answers.
    Intersubjectivity is a coined word from the prefix
    “inter” which connotes “among and between” and the
    philosophical term “subject” that is equivalent to a
    conscious being. Thus, intersubjectivity would mean
    in the general sense as “sharing of subjective states
    by two or more individuals.” (Scheff 2006). It is the
    organic union of the subjective reality and the
    objective reality of beings. Meaning to say, as a
    person, we have a personal regard to self but we
    cannot deny the fact (objective – fact of reality we all
    share) that we live with others so we also regard
    them as part of ourselves.
    This lesson discusses about intersubjective relations. The
    issues concerning the intersubjective relations maybe
    traced back to the philosophical problem known as “the
    problem of the other minds”. This problem may be
    expressed and answered in different ways but, in a
    nutshell. Simply asks the questions of whether there are
    other consciousness that can be deduced from the
    experience of encountering other human beings. We do not
    doubt that they have inner life, just like us. And it is the
    aim of this lesson to acquaint us first with the issues
    involved in this problem and eventually leading us to a
    clearer understanding of the issues concerning
    intersubjective relations.
    Cartesian Beginnings

    In philosophy, the Cartesian Self, part of a thought experiment, is an


    individual's mind, separate from the body and the outside
    world, thinking about itself and its existence. It is distinguished from
    the Cartesian Other, anything other than the Cartesian self.
    The dualism of Decartes created a lot of difficulties in
    Philosophy. The distinction and eventually the separation
    of the mind and the body resulted to the formation of an
    internal and external world. Decartes’ desire to rid
    himself of all errors and establish something which he
    cannot doubt made him consider everything that is
    delivered by his senses as false. Thus everything that his
    senses perceive-the mountains, trees,skies, heavenly
    bodies, and even his own body-must be regarded as not
    real. This lead him to his conclusion that the only thing
    certain is that he is existing because he is thinking: I
    THINK THEREFORE, I AM.
    Dualism-the quality of state of having two
    different or opposite parts or elements
    Frailty-weakness of character that causes
    a person to do things that are morally
    wrong.
    Husserl’s Phenomenology

    The German philosopher Edmund Husserl was influenced


    by the Cartesian dualism in the formulation of his own
    philosophical method known an PHENOMENOLOGY.
    Phenomenology comes from the Greek words
    phainomenon and logos which mean that which
    appears and study respectively. Thus
    phenomenology, literally means a study of that which
    appears. Husserl wanted an approach to the world
    that will focus simply on that which appears because
    the philosophical approaches during his time were
    going beyond which appears. And even when we look
    at our own approach of reality, we will realize that we
    generally go beyond that which appears to our
    consciousness' because this apparently our natural
    attitude.
    Stereotyping- it is also a way of
    looking things beyond that which
    appears- Example: when a male
    meets a homo sexual and thinks that
    homo sexual is interested in him.
