In the Lifeworld with Others in Community

Husserl proposes a theory of intersubjectivity that begins with transcendental consciousness embedded in the lifeworld alongside others, and in which the community is founded upon a structure of essences. The lifeworld is given and shared by all consciousnesses; it is a condition for empirical and eidetic intuitions, epoché, and eidetic and transcendental reductions. In this world, there are real objects along with other subjects that are recognised through empathy, constituting a community of selves. Even so, how to share their experiences? The experiences can be different, but there is a limit to variations, a limit given by the essences. Thus, the collective constitution of the world and its objects is in permanent progress. It is always possible to give them new meanings, within the limits of their essence. It is the communal constitution of the world.
