  1. 1. Intersubjectivity means that all of us are part of the society but with different individuals considering our appearances and point of view. Intersubjectivity can be redesign to find youself with a new and exciting life.

    2. Buber's I-it has to do with the subject as a human being that is different with things that has relationship only to selves not with subject to object. I-Thou has a relationship to subject to object like a human being to a things.

  2. 1. Intersubjectivy involving and occurring between separate concious minds. Most simply stated as the interchangeof thoughts and feelings, both concious and unconcious, between two persons or subjects as facilitated by empathy.

    2. I - Thou or I - lt, l - Thou os a relation of subject - to - subject, while l-lt is a relation of subject - to - object. In the l - Thou relationship, human beings are aware of each other a having a unity of being.

  4. 1.) A good way to think about intersubjectivity is to imagine how you relate to your family and friends. Maybe your mother enjoyed playing tennis. She took you with her when she practiced, and you always had a good time. Growing up, you decided to join the school tennis team. If your mother had not played tennis with you growing up, you may not have grown to like the sport. Your experience with tennis can be called intersubjective because it was influenced by another person (your mother). In order to better understand intersubjectivity, we first need to define a subject and an object. A subject is the person experiencing an action or event. An object is what is being experienced.

    2.) Martin Buber’s I and Thou (Ich und Du, 1923) presents a philosophy of personal dialogue, in that it describes how personal dialogue can define the nature of reality. Buber’s major theme is that human existence may be defined by the way in which we engage in dialogue with each other, with the world, and with God.

    1.) Intersubjectivity is the middle ground between objectivity and total subjectivity. Objectivity being a truth that is not related to the subject, whereas subjectivity is a truth that is relative to the perspective of a subject. Intersubjectivity encompasses multiple subjects and multiple viewpoints, that are in themselves subjective, but the combination of multiple viewpoints that point to the same “truth” allows subjectivity to not be completely subjective - in a way that it is often used derogatively.

    2.) In the I-Thou encounter, we relate to each other as authentic beings, without judgment, qualification, or objectification. I meet you as you are, and you meet me as who I am. In the I-Thou relationship, what is key is how I am with you in my own heart and mind.
    The I-It encounter is the opposite in that we relate to another as object, completely outside of ourselves.

    2.The I in the two situation also differs : in the I-Thou it appears only within the context of the relationship and cannot be viewed independently, whereas in the I-it situation the I is an observer and only partly involved. The I-Thou situation cannot be sustained indefinitely and every Thou will at times become an It. Through this situation objective knowledge is acquired and finds expression. In a healthy man there is a dialectical interaction between the two situations : every I-it contains the potential of becoming I-Thou, the situation in which man’s true personality emerges within the context of his world.

  8. 1."Intersubjectivity" is a term coined by social scientists as a short-hand description for a variety of human interactions. For example, social psychologists Alex Gillespie and Flora Cornish list at least six definitions of intersubjectivity (and other disciplines have additional definitions).[1]

    "Intersubjectivity" has been used in social science to refer to agreement. There is "intersubjectivity" between people if they agree on a given set of meanings or a definition of the situation. Similarly, Thomas Scheff defines "intersubjectivity" as "the sharing of subjective states by two or more individuals."[2]

    "Intersubjectivity" also has been used to refer to the common-sense, shared meanings constructed by people in their interactions with each other and used as an everyday resource to interpret the meaning of elements of social and cultural life. If people share common sense, then they share a definition of the situation.

  9. Intersubjectivity, in philosophy, psychology, sociology, and anthropology, is the psychological relation between people. It is usually used in contrast to solipsistic individual experience, emphasizing our inherently social being.

    The term has also been used to refer to shared (or partially shared) divergences of meaning. Self-presentation, lying, practical jokes, and social emotions, for example, all entail not a shared definition of the situation but partially shared divergences of meaning. Someone who is telling a lie is engaged in an intersubjective act because they are working with two different definitions of the situation. Lying is thus genuinely intersubjective (in the sense of operating between two subjective definitions of reality)

    So, for example, I see a large green shooting star that falls to the north of me. Another person sees a large shooting star that fell to the south of her, a third person sees it fall to the east, and a fourth person sees it fall to the west. Now, since we all describe the shooting star as green we can intersubjectively agree that it was in fact green. At the same time, we can compare our individual locations at the time that the star fell from the sky, and the direction it appeared in from our locations, and with some degree of accuracy we can intersubjectively determine that the shooting star should have fallen exactly somewhere.
