Intersubjectivity (n.) offers ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠no true conception: one only moves from one corrective to another, from one mirage to the next.

Intersubjectivity (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a mirage when we look at our neighbour and think he's thinking what we're thinking — a gross error, and the necessary starting point.

Intersubjectivity (n.) must ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠be there at the beginning, since it is there at the end: no bridge leads from animal desire to the recognition of desire.

Intersubjectivity (n.) shows ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠itself in the child not in tender regard but in the cold sentence 'When you are dead, Mummy, I'll have your hats' — the proof is that he can use language.

Intersubjectivity (n.) imagined ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠as a symmetrical I and thou of brothers — Buber plus personalism — makes the confusion definitive and irremediable.

Intersubjectivity (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠structured by what is not there: what matters is not that the enemy sees where I am but that he sees where I am going — where I am not.

Intersubjectivity (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not the ultimate horizon: before the dialogue partner there is the Other as Thing, the neighbour as sleazy repulsive presence giving body to an unbearable excess of jouissance — which Habermas represses.

Intersubjectivity (n.) as ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the inmixing of subjects is the structured crowd that enters at the end of a dream — the subject mixing into things, and the unconscious taking place between subjects rather than inside one.

Intersubjectivity (n.) played ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠on the dual level of ego and alter ego never reaches a second order: the moment you think of the third move, an oscillation sends you back to the first.
