| Intersubjectivity: intersubjectivity is the mutual recognition of an inner life by conscious subjects. The precondition is the conscious recognition of one's own inner life by a subject, as well as the assumption that other subjects share the main features of the inner constitution which the subject identifies in itself. These include language, sensation of pain, memory capability, the drive for self-preservation, and certain interests. Intersubjectivity is used by some authors as a substitute for an objectivity, which is regarded as unachievable._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Michael Sandel on Intersubjectivity - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 672 Intersubjectivity/SandelVsRawls/Sandel: In its supposed primordial state, Rawls presupposes a certain anthropology for a society to be established, which assumes that intersubjectivity or social relations are not constitutive for the identity of subjects. Rawls then assumes that people already possess their identity and individuality independently of and prior to the social relationships and historical locations in which they stand. >J. Rawls, >Intersubjectivity, >Social relations. Brocker I 673 Moreover: for Rawls, people's goals and purposes can never be constitutive for a subject's identity. >Goals, >Humans, >Subjectivity. Brocker I 676 If we include the dimension of intersubjectivity, politics cannot consist of defining a series of principles of justice, which would then be administered for all time, as it were, only by politics and jurisprudence. Rather, politics must consist of a constant, democratic debate about the good of the community. (1) >Justice, >Principles. 1.
