Intersubjectivity
HUMANS NATURAL TENDENCY
to relate
to establish attachments

meaningful ways
How do we as human

meaningful interaction with:
other people
our surroundings
everything that surrounds us

ourselves as:
rational individuals having a clear
perception of oneself
capable of determined
and reasonable action

becomes
SELF

outside of the self.

the "self in
the others"
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS

SELF recognizes
the SELF IN THE OTHERS
SELF - a person perceiving and experiencing REALITY
INTERACTION
between
SELF and the OTHER
is related to the philosophical concept of
INTERSUBJECTIVITY
INTERSUBJECTIVITY
term originally coined by the philosopher,
Edmund Husserl
interchange of thoughts and feelings
between two persons or “subjects,”
as facilitated by empathy
SUBJECTIVITY
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
the mutual recognition of each other as
persons - A unique relationship between
distinct subjects
it refers to the characteristic of the human

personal relationship with others - Interiority.
Levels of
Self-Other
Interaction
LEVELS OF SELF-OTHER INTERACTION
simple awareness - existence of the
others
When we see other people walking down the
street, we are aware that there are other
beings unique from us, and that they exist
outside of our own awareness or perception.
LEVELS OF SELF-OTHER INTERACTION
deeper level of interaction - awareness
of the self as being seen by others.
The person you are watching suddenly stops and
looks straight at you. You are immediately aware
of this person's action as an other. And the
stranger staring at you is aware of you as a
person
SEEMING
an individual presents himself or herself
in a certain way when dealing with
others.
SEEMING
The way we act with other people is often influenced
by our ideas of how these people see us. Therefore,
if we have the idea that our parents think of us as
quiet and obedient, we often act that way with them.
However, when we are with our friends and we think
that they see us as outgoing and boisterous, we also
adjust our behavior to conform with how we think
they expect us to act.
