Intersubjectivity

Intersubjectivity refers to the shared understanding and experiences between individuals. In the context of perception, it's the idea that people can have different perspectives or feelings about the same situation, yet still find common ground. This shared subjective experience helps us communicate, empathize, and connect with others. For example, when you and a friend watch a movie, you may interpret it differently, but discussing your thoughts can lead to a richer understanding of the film and each other. Intersubjectivity emphasizes the importance of dialogue in bridging individual perceptions to create meaningful connections.
