Study Notes
Intersubjectivity: Introduction to Philosophy
- Humans have a natural tendency to relate, form attachments, and seek close relationships with others. This inherent drive leads to meaningful interactions.
- Our ability to interact meaningfully with others, our surroundings, and everything around us stems from self-awareness and transcendence.
- Before relating with others, self-awareness as a rational individual capable of reasoned action is crucial.
- Interpersonal relations occur when the self becomes aware of the other, encompassing everyone and everything outside the self.
- Human nature enables recognition of the self in others, implying a shared humanity. This understanding forms the basis of interpersonal relationships.
- "Seeming" describes how individuals present themselves to others.
Genuine Human Interaction
- Most human interactions are not based on deception but on upholding dignity and goodness, aiming for beneficial outcomes.
- This drive for good interactions motivates humans to develop profound relationships.
Dialogue
- Dialogue is a deeper and more genuine interaction, occurring when individuals recognize each other's uniqueness and presence.
- It happens through speech, expressions, and body language, with mutual openness and receptiveness.
- Dialogue transcendswords, encompassing actions and gestures that reveal inner life.
- A dialogue happens when individuals "open up" to each other during encounters.
- Genuine dialogue requires a willingness for shared self-disclosure.
Intersubjectivity and Defining Interactions
- Philosophers emphasize pursuit of genuine relationships for personal and societal growth.
- Humans naturally seek and achieve meaningful relations.
- The individual is viewed as a "being with others," where identity and destiny are shaped by interactions.
- Existence involves a continuous dialogue with others, making full self-realization through interactions with people and environment possible.
Empathy
- Empathy, a key aspect of intersubjectivity, involves sharing emotions driven by the recognition of others' thoughts and feelings.
- Empathy facilitates understanding and experiencing others' emotions like happiness, anger, and sadness.
- It not only encourages support but allows individuals to feel the emotions of others.
Availability
- Availability is the willingness to be present and accessible to others.
The Ethics of Care
- The ethics of care emphasizes the moral dimension of relationships and interactions.
- It encourages individuals to support others, especially those who need help.
- This theory emphasizes the moral obligation to respond to others' needs.
Alienation
- Alienation, a pessimistic perspective, views human relationships as often frustrating, inauthentic, or deceptive.
- It arises when a person stops understanding the other as a distinguished person, regarding them as a tool for personal gain.
Evaluating Relationships Through Philosophy
- Important values in intersubjectivity include accepting differences and embracing diversity.
Examples of Individuals with Disabilities
- Hellen Keller (1880-1968), Nicholas James "Nick" Vujicic (born 1982), and Roselle Ambuyo (born 1980) are examples of individuals overcoming physical limitations to achieve success and productivity.
