In this volume, volume 6, I will deal with insight and understanding, meaning and communication and intersubjectivity. (In an appendix I will include a number of –isms, cognitive biases and fallacies that might interfere in, with and distort these things.) The latter is pre-supposed by, present, necessary and operating in all four of these notions when they are employed as verbs. I hope and intend to employ these words and explore them without the need for ghost-in-the-machine like mysterious, mystical and mythical ‘mental’ processes and organs such as ‘mind’ and ‘consciousness’ but by means of different meanings, dimensions, levels of t notions of intersubjectivity. Intersubjectivity enfolds (like a pregnant mother her foetus) insight, understanding, meaning and communication. Intersubjectivity is the beginning, the ground and reason for and the end of all meanings or sense that human beings could have. I am not interested in all the details of insight, experience, understanding, meaning, concepts and ideas, dialogue, discourse, interaction, communication (for example as speculated about by Habermas and his followers, Brandom et al). etc but merely the fact that these things require, assume, presuppose (different aspects, features, functions, processes, etc of) intersubjectivity. For those who are so inclined they could execute experiments (for example in the disciplines of philosophy, psychology, sociology, cognitive sciences, anthropology, etc) to establish that what I state here is a fact and not merely speculate. I will leave speculation - about the activities and nature of the first, second and third person (the public, etc) participants in the activities and process of communication, the question of second and third contingencies, or Habermas’s interactionist cum dialogical intersubjectivity and/or Brandom’s discursive intersubjectivity, the insufficiency of the former’s coordination and the need for synthesis, modes of structuration and the temporal dimensions of communication, threefold semiotic or twofold semiological structuralist theories of signs, theories of individualist or collective learning, action-directing models cultural models, pre-supposed structural features of the social relationships that are involved in communication, the structure parameters of for example the process of communication embedded in an intersubjective context (I would say all the following themselves are intersubjective), as discursive practice, including discourse, argumentation, communication, communication exchange, linguistic communication, everyday communication, interaction, etc - those, especially Continentals and those influenced by them, who suffer from the need for metaphysical speculation and to ontologize in complex terms about the most simple and obvious notions. The reason for these attitudes of mine towards mental things, processes, organs, etc is that I do not believe they exist, apart from being umbrella-notions that refer to a number of undefined and not yet conceptualized meanings. They have their origins in uneducated, uninformed redundant myths and folk psychology. Their usage date back to almost pre-historic times in the evolution of human thinking and psychology and are conceptual remainders and linguistic left overs of primitive flat earth socio-cultural attitudes and beliefs. I further need to make four points concerning my approach in this volume and my approach to or understanding of philosophy, they manner or style in which I write, especially in this volume and how I employ and interpret the nature and one function of intersubjectivity, both in this volume and in general. The latter I present as a kind of hypothesis and conclusion. Institutionalized and internalized, competence intersubjectivity contain many user-illusions and an imaginary or manifest image of reality, including of themselves (Dennett and Sellars),. This can be contrasted we a comprehension or comprehensive, understanding intersubjectivity. It is possible and perhaps even necessary to transform or replace the competence intersubjectivity to a comprehension or understanding (scientific, Dennett and Sellars) image of reality and themselves.Ethics and morality and studies of ethics and morality deal with the reality of competence intersubjectivity (by means of socio-cultural practices that are derived from, based on an created by means of this restrictive, misleading, unreal, illusory, unrealistic intersubjectivity and the life-worlds associated with it) and human life-worlds constituted on the basis of and in terms of this intersubjectivity. This is why I am a nihilist, a libertarian, at least a minarchist or rather an anarchist and epistemologically a sceptic. Kant’s things in themselves are similar to Dennett and Searle’s notions of manifest and scientific image. With my addition that we are socialized and internalize the competent, know how to do it, institutionalized manifest, everyday intersubjectivity, instead of the comprehension, insights and understanding knowing that, scientific intersubjectivity of all scientific disciplines. This piece can be read as independent as comments on meta-ethics, or it can be read as a chapter in my Book ‘Intersubjectivity (continued)’, or it can be read as an introduction to my thoughts on philosophy and more specifically Intersubjectivity as – Determining the nature of philosophy Determining the nature of the subject-matter of philosophy, sociology, social psychology, aspects of cognitive sciences, ethics, epistemology, etc, Determining the nature of philosophical methodology and approaches. Reasons why I have refrained from reflecting and writing on ethics and morality - a) The intersubjectivity that are institutionalized, socialized and internalize and therefore being employed to constitute reality, life-worlds, selves, discourses and socio-cultural practices, including specialized disciplines, eg philosophy, is that of Kantian things-for-us or Searle’ and Dennett’s notion of manifest, imaginary, competent or know-how, knowing-how-to images. This kind of intersubjectivity underlies human morality and ethics, as well as approaches of philosophers to these and other branches of philosophy. b) How philosophers exist and how they live, their attitudes and beliefs, are very different from the theories of human existence, consciousness, selves, ethics, morality, epistemology, ontology, metaphysics, etc they advocate or express in and as their theories. Philosophers have their own private ways or personal styles of im/morality and being a-ethical while they advocate theories of ethics (and other branches of philosophy) that are completely different from their real attitudes and beliefs. c) As far as institutionalized and lived ethics and morality go I am a nihilist, an anarchist, or at least a minarchist, a Pyrrhonist, or at least a Humean or Kantian sceptic if not a fallibilist. A suggestion before I paste the usual, contemporary encyclopaedic notions of ethics as a branch of philosophy and present notions of the ‘division’ of the subject and approaches to ethics and meta-ethics. When a compatibilist says free will and determinism are compatible, and critics say they are mistaken – see below – they talk about specific situations, while those who points out that there do exists some kinds of determinisms after al, the latter take a more general, big picture view and make a statement on a greater or higher level of generality or generalization.

The problem of intersubjectivity in Western philosophy: Boundaries of the communicative approach2020 •
The article defines the meaning of the phenomenological approach to the analysis of the concept of intersubjectivity in the context of social and philosophical problems of the balance of the Self and the Other. The discourse is based on the correlation of phenomenological orientation and communicative action in determining the mechanisms of identity of the Self in relation to the Other in the inseparability of social reality. A sequential analysis of prerequisites and research approaches aimed at testing the problem of intersubjectivity is carried out. The focus is placed on social phenomenological research of A. Schutz and the theory of communicative action of J. Habermas, which are aimed at understanding the correlation between the peculiarities of human existence, his life-world and the area of social relations or the inevitability of establishing overindividual patterns. Relevance of the research lies in elaborating the issue of establishing intersubjectivity under the fundament...
The Shared Mind
1. Intersubjectivity: What makes us human?2008 •
, with its oft-criticised neglect of the role of the body, phenomenal experience, social interaction and culture. Animals also have an “embodied mind”, and there are no good reasons to deny that at least birds and mammals also have a “conscious mind”. However, although other species may have varying degrees of awareness, they do not seem be fully aware of the subjectivity of others. And whereas adult human beings go on to engage in discursive practices and rely on material and symbolic culture - and both of these central aspects of social life do indeed have formative effects on the human mind - there appears to be something more basic that grounds their

Towards Intentional Nature of Intersubjectivity2014 •
The paper analyzes the possibility and moral normativity of intersubjectivity — here understood as referring to the kind of human interaction that respects the personhood of human beings. The analysis of the possibility of intersubjectivity inquires into the conditions of its occurrence; while the analysis of its moral normativity examines the basis of its status as a moral obligation. The paper advances two points. The first is the distinction between theoretical intersubjectivity, where persons are perceived or conceived as subjects and not as objects, and practical intersubjectivity, where persons are treated as ends and not merely as means. The second is the clarification that the imperativity of theoretical intersubjectivity (for involving perceptions and beliefs about persons) is epistemic while that of practical intersubjectivity (for involving intentions and actions towards persons) is moral. Given these points and the questionable status of the possibility of theoretical intersubjectivity (for requiring a nonconceptual knowledge of persons), confusing the latter with practical intersubjectivity would render the morality of intersubjectivity problematic.
Gestalt Theory
From the Self to the Other and Back Again: Intersubjectivity as a Perpetual Motion Around the Self2020 •
Summary In the methodology of science, intersubjectivity is usually associated with replicability of experimental results. A related, judicial conception of objectivity as impartiality has it that a theory or judgment is objective if it covers all the relevant angles of the object or phenomenon in question, ensuring that the latter is not ephemeral and the concepts referring to them are valid. Based on the assumption that in the social sciences, the researcher is also a participant, an alternative view was conceived, according to the notion that intersubjectivity rests on either sharing of a lifeworld and its associated practices or on empathy, or on some form of direct social cognition. My aim in this paper is to bring some elements of the Gestalt theory – and more specifically, Rudolf Arnheim’s (1988) adapted model of field dynamics – to bear on the problematic of intersubjectivity. The proposed model suggests that intersubjectivity is a dynamic phenomenon, best described as a pro...
