Rmvd passage[edit]

Following passage is removed. Citation requested in April, now here for the record.: ... 10:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

"The French philopsopher Jean-Paul Sartre argued that in making choices in life we effectively make choices for all humans as what is chosen is always the better choice, and what is better for one is better for all. This is also called 'intersubjectivity'.^{[citation needed]}". . . 10:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

rationalism[edit]

The author is conflating "common sense" with "intersubjectivity" in a while that excises the "subjective" root of the term. Intersubjectivity is not synonymous with notions of "common sense" or "public language", but rather the phenomenon of shared intuition among subjects. The subtlety is not its secret affinity with positivism but its mimicry of the self-referential synchronicity given usually and only to oneself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fliushkin (talk • contribs) 21:41, May 22, 2007

Wrong, Doof, as is often the case in the backwaters of wikipedia[edit]

This term is a philosophical one and comes from phenomenology, its most common connotation is to refer to relations between the self and others, or between thinking subjects generally, as the name implies and as distinct category, not a "multi-subjectivity". 72.228.177.92 (talk) 17:21, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to have been cleaned up some since above, still fails to put in context of continental philosophy of which it is a characteristic and traditional element. 72.228.190.243 (talk) 13:29, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously? ;-)[edit]

"Intersubjectivity can also be understood as the process of psychological energy moving between two or more subjects. In a room where someone is lying on their deathbed, for example, the room can appear to be enveloped in a shroud of gloom for other people interacting with the dying person. The psychological weight of one subject comes to bear on the minds of others depending on how they react to it, thereby creating an intersubjective experience that, without multiple consciousnesses interacting with each other, would be otherwise strictly solitary. Love is a prime example of intersubjectivity that implies a shared feeling of care and affection, among others." --178.193.39.223 (talk) 15:58, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ethology and evolutionary psychology[edit]

came to this page from a link on another wikipage that was discussing ev. psych. Therefore would be interesting to have something on the use of the term in that discipline here also.

Adding "Across Cultures"[edit]

Hello,

I'm hoping to add information on intersubjectivity in relation to learning in Indigenous American communities to the bottom portions of this page. There is a small mention of intersubjectivity and infant development at the bottom that I will hope to reorganize and add a great deal to.

Thoughts?

-Sounds like a great idea. I was thinking of working on the Infant Development section as well; the mention of Colwyn Trevarthen could be expanded on a lot to add insight to this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ceruleanc (talk • contribs) 05:16, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Sounds very promising! Some findings by Fuchs and DeJaegher are also very relevant to this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoshLichtner (talk • contribs) 17:30, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
