What is
Intersubjectivity?
Intersubjectivity. a term originally coined by the
Austrian-German philosopher and mathematician
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
Intersubjectivity is a kind of relationship which
considered a subject to subject or person to
person way of relating. Intersubjective relationship
therefore aims in helping individuals grow together as
authentic human persons.
Intersubjectivity generally means something that is shared
between two minds. A basic example of intersubjectivity is
having a shared common agreement in the definition of an
object. For example, most people would experience
intersubjectivity when asked to picture an apple and the
definition would be the same.
Intersubjectivity also has been used to refer to the common
sense or shared meanings constructed by people in their
interactions with each other and used as an everyday resource to
interpret the meaning of elements of social and cultural life. If
people share common sense, then they share a definition of the
situation
Man as Being in the
world:
The world and the association of the ontological
status of others with our own Dasein (existence) is in
itself a form of Being. Heidegger said that Being-in-
the-world is a being-with and that the
understanding the present of other is to exist.
Martin Heidegger claims that being-in is “the
formal existential expression of the being of Dasein
(existence), which has being-in the world as its
essential state. Heidegger argues that a human
person is not a spiritual thing misplaced into space.
Human reality of being in the world is definite way of
“being-in undertaking, something, interrogating
something, producing, considering all these ways
have concern.
Man as Being for
others:
A new dimension of being in which myself exist
outside as an object for others. The For-itself
involves a perpetual conflict as each seeks to recover
its own being by directly or indirectly making an
object out of the other.
Being and Nothingness:
Being and Nothingness: An Essay on
Phenomological Ontology (L’Être et le néant: Essai
d’ontologie phénoménologique) sometimes published
with a title A Phenomological Essay on Ontology is a
1943 book by the philosopher Jean-Paul Satre. In the
book, Satre develops a philosophical account in support of
his exintentialism, dealing with topic such as
consciousness, perception, social philosophy, self
Jean Paul Sartre (1905
–In1980)
his book Being and Nothingness, he explains that it is
through the “other as a look” that “I experiences the self or
is revealed. “Other” is the other conscious for-itself who
like the I or the Being is lack and appropriates one
possibilities.
He also believed that human beings lived in constant
anguish, not solely because life is miserable but because we
are condemned to be free. Sartre’s Theory of Existentialism
states that “the existence precedes essence” that is only by
existing and acting a certain way do we give meaning to our
lives.
The philosophical career of Jean Paul Sartre focuses in its
first phase upon the construction of a philosophy of
existence knows as extensionalism. Adopting and
Søren Kierkegard
(1813 - 1855)
A Danish Theologian, philosopher, and religious author
who is widely considered to be the Father of
Existentialism for his emphasis on individual existence
particularly religious existence, as a constant process of
becoming and for his invocation of the associated
concepts of authencity, commitment, responsibility,
anxiety, and
Friedrich dread.
Nietzche
(1844 - 1900)
A German philosopher who is also known as “The Ultimate
Anti Christ Philosopher” that later became as one of the
crucial figure at the origins of the developing line of
“atheistic existentialism,
Dasein being as
care: to Heidegger, it is an entity that cares about its own
According
being. In other words, the existence of the entityis based on
the existential understanding of its own self. In this sense,
Heidegger calls the being of this particular entity care.
Dasein means “being there”, “presence” or
“existence” that is derived from two German words da
“there” and sein “to be”
Being in the world belongs essentially to Dasein and its being
toward the world is concern. Concern means engaged having
to do with equipment a way of being-in-the-world. Concern is
disclosedness of Dasein. Dasein engagement with things
discloses (reveals) the thing.
Knowing is its own form of being, even if this knowledge is
only what one is not and cannot be rather than what one is.
The human can never know being as it truly is. To do that,
one would have to be the thing itself.
Man as Historical
Being:
It is the understanding, not only as an abstract idea but as
a living reality that a human person is a historical being,
in whom the past remains immanent in the present, and
whom the wear and tear of time enhances rather than
diminishes.
Human person is a physical being, as
knower, as responsible agent, as a person
in relation to other persons, to society, to
God, and to the end, or purpose of human
life.
History is the study of past in all forms.
Derived from the Greek word “Historia”
which means learning by inquiry.
Basically, it is being in the world that makes man
being in history
As Marcel said, Man and the World are inseparable in
each other in a form of mutual exchange. Undeniably,
there is indeed a “Give and Take” relatedness between
man and world.
Without humans world of culture and
civilization are cease to exist thus history.
“Men make their own history, but they do
not make is as they please, they do not
make it under self-selected circumstances,
but under circumstance existing already,
given and transmitted from – Karl Marx
