HUMAN PERSON &
INTERSUBJECTIVITY
HUMAN RELATION
Human nature is not only
enables us to recognize the self
that defines our individuality, it
also enables us to recognize
that other human beings also
possess a self.
The interaction between the self and
other is related to the philosophical
concept of intersubjectivity which is
the mutual recognition of each other
as persons. It cannot be denied that
we interact with other beings in the
world, but some of these beings that
we interact with are persons and
must be recognized as such.
Intersubjectivity carries the meaning of
“ a unique relationship between distinct
subjects”. It refers to the characteristics
of the human person to engage in a very
intimate and personal relationship with
others who are different from him or
her but who are also like him or her.
A deeper level of interaction between
the self and the other, on the other
hand is the awareness of the self as
being seen by others. This self-
consciousness is considered by
philosophers as a defining
characteristics of the self-other
relationship.
 •Imagine for instance, that
one of the people you are
watching suddenly stops
and looks straight at you.
What would you think?

You are immediately aware of this person’s

action as an other- this stranger is looking
at your direction and also you are aware of
another significant fact- you know that the
stranger staring at you is aware of you as a
person.
•Now imagine that the person
is not stranger but someone
familiar: a family member, a
friend, even your crush. Just
stare at you. What would you
think?

The unique phenomenon of the human

gaze is considered a defining
characteristics which sets apart human
interaction of other species. Also
awareness of the “self in the other” is an
important element in all other aspects of
interpersonal interactions.
The way we act with other
people is often influenced by
our ideas of how these people
see us. Therefore, if we have
the idea that our parents think
of us as quiet and obedient, we
often act that way with them.
When we are with our friends
and we think that they see us
as outgoing and boisterous, we
also adjust our behavior to
conform with how we think
they expect us to act.
This is also true when
considering social context: how
we behave in church in
different from our behavior in a
lively party.
These actions are referred to as
“SEEMING”- where individuals
presents himself or herself in a
certain way when dealing with
others. Persons take on “roles”
or act out characters when
dealing with certain people or
when in certain situations.
 HOW DOES INTERSUBJECTIVITY DEFINE OUR INTERACTIONS WITH
OTHER PERSONS?

• Philosophers agree that it is important for humans to pursue and

achieve genuine relationship to attain development.
• Human Persons naturally seek and are able to achieve and maintain
genuine, meaningful relations with each other.
• The Human Person is considered as a “being with others” which means
that his or her identity and destiny are shaped by relating with others.
• Human existence is a continual dialogue with the other and that the self
becomes whole through interaction with other people and his or her
surroundings.
• ETHICS OF CARE – is an ethical theory that emphasizes the moral dimension of
relationships and interaction. This moral perspective encourages individuals to help
other people, most especially the vulnerable.
- Proponents of the Ethics of Care believe that people have a moral
obligation to respond to the needs of the other people and one cannot turn a blind eye
on the problems of others.
- People relate to each other in different ways and this gives rise to
varying degrees of dependence among people.
- Those who are able to help or give assistance should consider the
specific needs of the people they are helping.
 DO YOU AGREE THAT NOT ALL HUMAN INTERACTIONS ARE
POSITIVE? WHY?
• These are those who view other people negatively and consider human actions as being
influenced by selfish interests.
• This pessimistic view considers human relationships frustrating and often inauthentic or
deceptive.
• A person that adopts this negative view is said to be experiencing ALIENATION.
• This arises when a person ceases to view the other as distinct and authentic person and
merely considers the other person as a mere object or means to satisfy personal
interests.
• You might have encountered people who behave in a rude and offensive manner against
other whom they consider “different” from them. We often hear the term “matapobre”
used to describe well-off people who look down on other people that they consider
poor.
 HOW CAN PHILOSOPHY HELP YOU EVALUATE YOUR
REALTIONSHIP WITH OTHERS?

Recognition of our shared humanity

Important values related to and dignity is what drives us to
intersubjectivity include: extend assistance and act with
Acceptance of differences concern towards others, especially
Embracing diversity toward individuals or groups that
experience hardships and
discriminations.
