Intersubjectivity- philosophy

1. INTERSUBJECTIVITY
Activity 1

2. Objectives:
Realize that intersubjectivity requires
accepting differences and not to impose
on others.
Appreciate the talents of persons with
disabilities and those from the
underprivileged sectors of society and
their contributions to society

3. Continuation…
Explain that authentic dialogue means
accepting others even if they are different
from themselves
Perform activities that demonstrate the
talents of persons with disabilities and
those from the underprivileged sectors of
society

4. Lesson 1: ACCEPTING ME, ACCEPTING
YOU
LEARNING OUTCOME: At the end
of this lesson, you are expected
to realize that accepting
differences of others is vital in
any human relation.

5. Another aspect of being man is his
relatedness with others. This in philosophical
terms is Intersubjectivity or being with others.
One manifestation of this relation with others
is accepting OTHERS AND THEIR
DIFFERENCES. This is the first critical
component of intersubjectivity

6. Lesson 2: ACCEPTING OTHERS IS NOT TO
IMPOSE ON OTHERS
LEARNING OUTCOME: Explicitate
J.S. Mill’s views on human liberty,
freedom of thought and
expression, interference and the
harm principle.

7. In this lesson, the importance of
accepting the other’s thoughts and
ideas (though they might be
opposed to yours) is another
manifestation of accepting others
(and their differences).

8. PRINCIPLE OF PATERNALISM
 "Paternalism" comes from the Latin pater,
meaning to act like a father, or to treat
another person like a child. ("Parentalism" is a
gender-neutral anagram of "paternalism".)
 In modern philosophy and jurisprudence, it is
to act for the good of another person without
that person's consent, as parents do for
children.

9. LEGAL MORALISM
-is the view that the law can legitimately
be used to prohibit behaviors that
conflict with society's collective moral
judgments even when those behaviors
do not result in physical or
psychological harm to others.

10. -According to this view, a person's
freedom can legitimately be restricted
simply because it conflicts with
society's collective morality; thus,
legal moralism implies that it is
permissible for the state to use its
coercive power to enforce society's
collective morality.

11. LESSON 3: ACCEPTING PEOPLE FOR WHAT
THEY ARE IS LOVING THEM
LEARNING OUTCOME:
Realize that accepting
people for what they are is
a manifestation of love.

12. In this lesson, the theme on accepting
others (their differences) is further
developed by connecting it with the
act of loving. Thus, we turn to Erich
Fromm’s classic The Art of Loving.
we can use here the essay written by
Fromm, The Basic elements of Love

13. These are care,
responsibility, respect
and knowledge.
