possible by the awareness of the self and the other. It is the condition of man, a

individual agree on something, there is intersubjectivity. Another, intersubjectivity
can be also used to refer to common-sense. Individuals sharing common-sense
means sharing the meaning and definition of something, and therefore there is
intersubjectivity as they both know and agree with something. Lastly,
intersubjectivity can be used to refer to shared meaning, which is similar to
common sense and agreement.
