From"Transcendental Intersubjectivity"to"Being-with":Husserl's and Early Heidegger's Transcendental Interpretations of Social Ontology
The early Heidegger think that Dasein of"being in the world"necessarily includes a relationship with others,that is"Mitsein".Such a view echoes Husserl's transcendental theory of intersubjectivity,in which they share the view that the intersubjec-tive relation between the self and the other exists in our relation to the"world"or"transcedence".Husserl understands transcendence as objective reality,certainty.As opposed to the subject,Heidegger argues that Dasein and the world are themselves in transcendence,that transcendence implies the overpass of the entity over the world,and that it is also the relational whole that makes intentionality pos-sible,with its own non-reducible social dimension.Although their understandings of"world"and"transcendence"differ,such a transcendental account of sociality is an approach shared by both Husserl and early Heidegger,and on this basis influenced the social ontology perspective embedded in their respective philosophies.
