Is a theory of ‘intersubjectivity’ capable of elucidating the nature of a social relation and of how such relations develop within a community? There are many different approaches to this major question, which will be examined during this one-day conference: phenomenology, philosophy of mind, Habermas’ communicative ethics and Heidegger’s concept of the “They” and inauthenticity.
