The Human person is a perceiving subject

relationship/dialogue
•Subject – living, feeling,

thinking, being.

Embodied Subjectivity
Subjectivity
i.e., the perception or experience of reality from within

one’s own perspective (both conscious and unconscious)
and necessarily limited by the boundary or horizon of one’s
own worldview.
Intersubjectivity
Intersubjectivity, a term originally coined by

the philosopher Edmund Husserl (1859–1938),
is most simply stated as the interchange of
thoughts and feelings, both conscious
and unconscious, between two persons or
“subjects,” as facilitated by empathy.
Intersubjectivity
•Intersubjectivity presupposes human

being’s connectivity with other human
beings. It means we share the same
situations wherein we can create shared
meanings
TOTALIZATION
•Occurs when one limits the 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.
Human beings as social beings
Since a human person is endowed with reason…

• It is inherent in human beings to communicate and
establish
relationships with the environment and other human
beings.
• This relationship transforms both the environment and the
human
beings.
Human beings as social beings
• It is a dialogue between or among thinking and acting

persons who
continuously unveil, discover, and create themselves.
The Human Being as Being-in-
dialogue
Martin Buber: I-thou relationships
• A JEWISH PHILOSOPHER
• HE SAID THAT THE “I” OR YOURSELF, CAN BE REALIZED
THROUGH RECOGNITION OF OTHERS.
• THE “I” CANNOT BE AWARE OF ITS UNIQUENESS AND
EXISTENCE WITHOUT ENCOUNTERING THE “OTHER”.

THROUGH RECOGNITION OF OTHERS.
• THE “I” CANNOT BE AWARE OF ITS UNIQUENESS AND
EXISTENCE WITHOUT ENCOUNTERING THE “OTHER”.
• This summons each self-consciousness to treat one

another not as
an object but as a subject, as a THOU and not as IT.
• Once a human being treats the other as an object, self-
consciousness ceases to unveil and realize itself.
Edmund Husserl
Intentionality = it describes the relationship of a subject to
the
objects of consciousness.
Ex.
You are in school, but you consciousness ‘intends’ itself
toward
persons or objects that are somewhere else.
You are in school and your focus is in intently listening and
learning.

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
Edmund Husserl
• EMPATHY-the ability to share emotions.

This emotions is driven by a person’s
awareness that the other person is a person
thoughts and feelings. It also enables us to
experience another person’s emotions such
as happiness, anger, and sadness. While
SYMPATHY is “feeling with” while
EMPATHY is “feeling in”.
Edmund Husserl
• AVAILABILITY-the willingness of a person

to be present and be at disposal of another.
• THE ETHICS OF CARE-ethical theory that
emphasizes the moral dimension of
relationship and interactions. this moral
perspective encourages individuals to help
the VULNERABLE.
Gabriel Marcel
Presence = recognizing the self as a being-among-beings

and acknowledging the relevance of others’ experiences to
the self, as a being, not just here-ness of a mere physical
object.
Freedom and Dialogue
• The true expression of freedom occurs when it is

expressed both
for one’s self-being and the other’s self-being
• Human Freedom can only find its true meaning in relation
to the
freedom of another human being.
