Dialogue and communication have today become central concepts in
con temporary man's effort to analyze and comprehend the major
roots of con flict that threaten our twentieth-century world.
Underlying all attempts at dialogue, however, is the presupposition
that it is ontologically possible for men to reach one another and
to communicate meaningfully. It is to this most basic question - of
the possibility and the limits of interpersonal rela tionships -
that various phenomenologies of intersubjectivity direct them
selves. Both the topic (intersubjectivity) and the method
(phenomenology) are relative newcomers to philosophy and in a sense
they arrived together. Ever since Descartes, philosophers have
labored to explain how a subject knows an object. But not until the
twentieth century did they begin to ask the much more fundamental
and vastly more mysterious question - how does one subject
encounter another subject precisely as another subject? The problem
of intersubjectivity is thus one that belongs in a quite special
way to contemporary philosophy. "Classical philosophy used to leave
it strangely alone," says Emmanuel Mounier. "If you ennumerate the
major problems dealt with by classical philosophy, you have
knowledge, the out side world, myself, the soul and the body, the
mind, God, and the future life - the problem created by association
with other people never assumes 1 in classical philosophy the same
importance as the other problems. " Phenomenology, too, is a
newcomer to the philosophical scene, especially in America."
