This document discusses the philosophical concept of intersubjectivity and how human persons relate to and interact with one another. It describes how self-awareness and recognition of others allows people to understand each other through empathy, availability, and ethics of care. Genuine human interaction involves dialogue rather than just conversation, with deeper engagement and reflection. Intersubjectivity defines how human persons are shaped by their relationships and interactions with other people.
