ABSTRACT

E. Husserl, in Cartesian Meditations: An Introduction to Phenomenology, asserted that Self-construction grounded Others- Construction which would build the Objective world. However this article claims the simultaneity of construction of selfhood and ‘others-hood’. By preventing the standardization of perceiving processes Consciousness renews selfhood continuously. And perceiving others is a prerequisite for the selfhood. Neurophysiological and neuropsychological experiments show that: 1) a new ego can be generated by perceiving others’ eyes on the self; 2) perceiving others itself changes the structure of the self’s own perceiving system; 3) perceiving unpredictable others stimulates re-recognition of the self; 4) same neural areas are shared for physicalizing and mentalizing of the self and others. In conclusion selfhood and ‘others-hood’ are constructed indispensably.
