Grade 12 Intro to Philosophy

1. INTERSUBJECTIVTY
Irvin John O. Salegon
Teacher 1

2. “It is said that man experiences his
world. What does that mean? Man
travels over the surface of things
and experiences them. He
extracts knowledge about their
constitution from them: he wins an
experience from them. He
experiences what belongs to the
things.”
- Martin Buber

3. Intersubjectivity is...
-sharing the
subjective states by
two or more inviduals
(Scheff 2006)

4. The term subjective...
-based on feelings or
opinions rather than facts
-relating to the way a
person experiences
something in his or her
own

5. Intersubjectivity, or
other-awareness
1. We want to know
what it takes to
experience the
“other” as “the other”

6. 2. How the
experience of “the
other” may be
needed for the
development of self-
awareness.

7. 1. Other = human
being, an object
outside of you;
2. The Other = human
person, same being,
subject

8. What kind of relationship are
you in?

9. The “I-Thou”,
and “I-It”
Relations

10. Martin Buber presented
his philosophy through
a dialouge, a
philosophical theory
that showed a
particular quality of
interaction, where the
parties involved
develop a connection
or relationship.

12. “I-It” Relationship
-“I” is the subject
-“It” is a person treated
as an object
-depicts separateness,
disconnectedness, and
detachment

14. “I-Thou” Relationship
-“I” is the subject
-“Thou” is another
subject
-it is a relationship of
mutual and reciprocal
connection
