Introduction on
Intersubjectivity
 “This is the eternal origin of art that a human
being confronts a form that wants to become a
work through him. Not a figment of his soul but
something that appears to the soul and demands
the soul's creative power. What is required is a
deed that a man does with his whole being..”
― Martin Buber, I and Thou

Intersubjectivity
The word “subjective” is about you. Something is
subjective because it depends on your ideas and opinions
that are open to interpretations. Subjective is the
opposite of objective, which means not influenced by
personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice because
they are unbiased, being on facts.

 intersubjectivity
An agreement based on experiences an observations
without involving emotions and feelings is not
intersubjectivity. It is an objective agreement- or an
“interobjectivity,” if you may. So, when three persons see
a car, they can all agree that it is a car. It is not based on
feelings or emotions. However, if the three agree that the
car is flashy, their agreement becomes intersubjective
because flashiness depends on their ideas and opinions.

Martin Buber’s and Karol Wojtyla’s views will be used as
the main frame work in unerstanding intersubjectivity.

Martin Buber
is a Jewish existentialist
philosopher. He was born in
Vienna and was brought up in the
Jewish tradition. In his work I
and thou (Ich and Du) 1923, he
conceives the human person in
his/her wholeness, totality,
concrete existence and relatedness
to the world. 11
Buber’s I-thou philosophy is about
the human person as a subject, who
is a being different from things or
from objects. The human person
experiences his wholeness not in
virtue of his relation to one’s self,
but in virtue of his relation to
another self. The human person
establishes the world of mutual
relation, of experience.

Intersubjectivity
Buber cites the I-It relationship. This I-it
relationship is a person to thing, subject to
object that is merely experiencing and using;
lacking directedness and mutuality (feeling,
knowing, and acting).
