Intersubjective Parameters of the Life Processes

subject

description

The problem of the formation of community, communication, mutual understanding is one of the principal themes in contemporary philosophy. The urgency of the problem has probably sharpened due to the openly onesided tendencies of liberalism, individualism, the philosophy of subjectivity and the egology reigning in the last centuries. These philosophies focus on the self-sufficient individual, individual consciousness, Ego, the structures of mind, body, and consider that the basis of human community lies in the inner structures of a self-sufficient individual. The philosophy of subjectivity turns to man himself in the first place and then attempts to show the capacities (understanding, historicity, intersubjectivity) favoring the formation of a community with others, which then proceeds from man’s own philosophical characteristics. This approach mainly seeks the structures, a priori bases, conditions allowing man to form a community with others. Thus, for instance, in Jaspers’ philosophy of existence, the historicity inherent in a human being is the parameter whose presence is the basis of a common history of humanity (historicity as a structure of the human being determines the feasibility of the community’s existence as history).
