Study Notes

Intersubjectivity and Existentialism

  • Intersubjectivity is the concept of relationships between individuals, correlating to self-awareness and transcendence.
  • The individual is primarily aware of themselves, and this egocentric perspective defines how one perceives and relates to reality.
  • The self is the awareness of individuality, exemplified in the proper usage of the pronoun "I".
  • The recognition of others as individuals or subjects in the world is exemplified in the pronoun "Thou" or "You".
  • Intersubjectivity is the interchange of thoughts and feelings between two persons or "subjects" as facilitated by intentionality.

Martin Buber's I-Thou Vs I-It Relationships

  • Martin Buber offers a distinction between the social and the interhuman: the former refers to the life of a group bound together by common experiences, while the latter refers to the life between and among persons, who are interchangeable and non-objectifiable.
  • Human life is a mixture of both I-It relationship (monologue) and I-Thou relationship (dialogue); their distinction lies in which of the two predominate any relation.
  • The first obstacle to dialogue is the way of seeming (level of impression) and can be contrasted to the way of being.
  • The second obstacle to dialogue is speechifying (one's talking past another) and is contrasted to the act of personal making present.
  • The third obstacle to dialogue is imposition (imposing one's self on others) and is contrasted to unfolding, finding in the other the disposition toward what I myself recognize as true, good, and beautiful.
  • Buber's I-Thou relationship is dialogical, turning to the partner in all truth, recognizing the other as other.

Gabriel Marcel's Philosophy of Communion

  • There is a dissatisfaction with oppressive objectification or ideologies which suppress the true identity of human persons.
  • Marcel's meaning of transcendence is the recognition of the true identity of human persons.
  • Marcel's philosophy of communion is about recognizing the true identity of human persons and overcoming oppressive objectification.
