8. FROM A PHILOSOPHER:
“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
9. STARTING POINT:
“Humans have the natural and universal
tendency to relate, to establish
attachments and seek close relationship
with other people. Our human nature
drives us to reach out to other people and
interact with them in meaningful ways.”
10. HOW DO WE RELATE WITH OTHERS?
“Our ability to engage in meaningful interactions with
other people, our surroundings, and everything around us
is rooted in our capacity for. . .
1. Self-awareness
2. Transcendence
Before we begin to relate with others, we must first to
know the “SELF” as what the famous Socrates will say,
“Know Yourself”.
If you began to know yourself by then you will know the
“OTHER”
11. WHAT IS INTERSUBJECTIVITY?
1.“The interaction between the self and
the other.”
2.“It is sharing the subjective states by
two or more individuals.”
3.“A unique relationship between distinct
subject.”
12. WHAT IS A SUBJECT?
The term subjective... -based on
feelings or opinions rather than
facts -relating to the way a person
experiences something in his or
her own.
(A human person is a SUBJECT)
13. WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW IN
INTERSUBJECTIVITY?
1.We want to know what it takes to
experience the “other” as “the other”
2. How the experience of “the other” may
be needed for the development of self-
awareness.
14. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
“OTHER” AND “THE OTHER”
1. “Other” = human being, an object outside of you;
a. Trees
b. Animals
c. Etc.
2. “The Other” = human person, same being, subject
a. Your Classmate
b. Your Teacher
c. Parents
d. Friends
e. Enemies
That’s why if you’re looking for a partner is life,
you’re looking for a SIGNIFICANT OTHER!
16. A closer look at everyday interactions reveals
instances where the self interacts with the other:
1. The simple awareness of the existence of the
other.
2. The awareness of the self as being seen by
others.
What’s the difference between the two?
