INTERSUBJECTIVIT
Y
COMPETENCIES

◆Realize that intersubjectivity requires accepting

differences and not to imposing on others
◆Appreciate the talents of persons with
disabilities and those from the underprivileged
sectors of society and their contributions to society
PART I
INTERSUBJECTIVITY
It refers to shared meanings
constructed by people in their
interactions with each other.
●Jean Paul Sartre,
explains that when you
look at a person, the act of
objectification allows you
to capture that person’s
freedom to be what he or
she wants to be. That is,
you are limiting a person’s
possibilities by a look.
 This is evident when
you label a person based
on his or her appearance
or certain actions.
●TOTALIZATION
Occurs when one limit other to a set of
rational categories, be they racial, sexual, or
otherwise. One totalize the other when one
claim he/she already know who is that person
before they can even speak to.
●Edmund Husserl
believes that
intersubjectivity is more
than just shared
understanding, but it is the
capability to put oneself in
the place where the other is.
 Intersubjectivity occurs when people
undergo acts of empathy because an
intersubjective experience is highly empathic.
This happens when people put themselves in
the shoes of others.
Empathy enables us to experience another
person’s emotions, such as happiness, anger,
and sadness.

Sympathy is “feeling with”, while empathy

is “feeling in”
●The Ethics of Care is an ethical theory that
emphasizes the moral dimension of
relationships and interactions.
This moral perspective encourages
individuals to help other people, most
especially the vulnerable.
●Seeming - actions where
an individual presents himself
or herself in a certain way
when dealing with others.
Most human interactions, however, are not
based on deception. Since our human nature
derives us to uphold dignity and goodness, our
interactions with others are also geared towards
what is good and beneficial.
This deeper and more genuine interaction is called
Dialogue.

◆Dialogue - an interaction between persons that happens

through speech, expressions, and body language.
◆Dialogue is not confined to words alone, actions,
gestures and other expressions may be used to convey a
person's inner life.
◆A dialogue occurs when two persons "open up" to
each other and give and receive one another in their
encounter.

Recognizing
and
Relating to Others
 MARTIN BUBER
The “I-I” and “I-It relationship
The “I-I” relationship
"I-I" relationship in which people make
themselves the center of their world.
"I-It" relationship
“I-It” relationship is the second type of
relationship.
There are people that treat the other people
into the status of an object.
Authentic Dialogue
Authentic dialogue is a form of interpersonal
communication which occurs when people
recognize that they are part of a greater whole
and can relate with others within the whole.
Martin Heidegger argued that
humankind is a conversation.

Conversation is more than just a simple talk

but rather a dialogue. It means that humanity
is gradually accustomed to communication
about Being. Language, as one of the controls
of humans, creates the human world.
Paulo Freire's
According to Paulo Freire's "Pedagogy of the
Oppressed", dialogue is the encounter between men,
mediated by the people in order to transform the world.
 True dialogue cannot exist unless the
partners engage in love, humility, faith, trust,
hope, and critical thinking. Therefore, dialogue
becomes the sign and the central concept of
true education, “without dialogue there is no
communication, and without communication,
there can be no true education".
