An introduction to the notion of intersubjectivity as a central concern of philosophy, sociology, psychology and politics. The main purpose of this volume is to provide a coherent framework for this concept against which the various and contrasting debates can be more clearly understood. Beyond this, the author provides a critical discussion of intersubjectivity as an interdisciplinary concept to shed light on our understanding of selfhood, communication, citizenship, power and community. The author traces the contributions of many key thinkers engaged with the intersubjectivist tradition, including Husserl, Buber, Kojeve, Merleau-Pony, Mead, Wittgenstein, Schutz and Habermas.
