We usually hear the saying, “No man is an island.” There is no doubt that an
average person understands this quotation but despite the universal understanding
we have about it, we still express in various ways our belief on “being with others.”
We have varying degrees of affection and regard towards others and to ourselves as
well which may come from our unique experiencing of social reality.

What I Know
Answer the questions briefly after reading the passage from the Bible.
(25) On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,”
he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
(26) “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
(27) He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all
your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ [a]; and, ‘Love
your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”
(28) “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
(29) But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my
neighbor?”
(30) In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him
and went away, leaving him half dead. (31) A priest happened to be going down
the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
(32) So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on
the other side. (33) But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was;
and when he saw him, he took pity on him. (34) He went to him and bandaged
his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey,
brought him to an inn and took care of him. (35) The next day he took out two
denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when
I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
(36) “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell
into the hands of robbers?”
(37) The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Lesson
Intersubjectivity
1
What’s In
In the parable, it is hard to imagine that a Samaritan would help a Jew since
he is considered by the Jewish society as an outcast. But what happened was the
other way around – he helped the Jew despite of their differences and the unfair
treatment to him. This story clearly explains how man can go beyond cultural
considerations and how one can overcome grudges to performing an ethical act
towards a needy person.
14
What’s New
Intersubjectivity in General
Philosophy, unlike Theology, does not use primarily biblical texts in its
pursuit, though some religious texts are morally worthy to be examples in explaining
philosophical ideas like the previous reading we had. The Parable of the Good
Samaritan clearly explains the phenomenon of intersubjectivity in the human world.
Though it focuses on the Kingdom of God, it still validates the importance of
intersubjective relations of man.

What I Can Do
In our present society, we can notice all kinds of differences of people in the
world that may result to inequality, injustice, and all sorts of abuses. In order to
create a better world, we have to be sensitive about these things and respond in kind
manner. Below are societal problems which need solutions from intersubjective point
of view. Understand each statement and give concrete solutions. Use the ideas on
intersubjectivity elaborated by the philosophers we discussed. 3-5 sentences are
enough.
3. Many say that poor people are poor because of their mentality.
