Intersubjectivity is a term used in social psychology to refer to people’s ability to understand that the other person has a mind of his own, and that those minds are different from one another. Intersubjectivity is a crucial step in the development of the scientific method, as it is through intersubjectivity that we can determine whether an event occurred out of pure chance or if there was a cause-and-effect relationship at play.

It is an ecstatic erotic self-emptying. A change of mind about the mode of thinking and being. Christos Yannaras

The subject is born with love's first leap of joy. . Christos Yannaras
