What I Need to Know
We usually hear the saying, “No man is an island.” There is no doubt that an
average person understands this quotation but despite the universal understanding
we have about it, we still express in various ways our belief on “being with others.”
We have varying degrees of affection and regard towards others and to ourselves
as well which may come from our unique experiencing of social reality.
14
What I Know
Answer the questions briefly after reading the passage from the Bible.
(25) On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,”
he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
(26) “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
(27) He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all
your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ [a]; and, ‘Love
your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”
(28) “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
(29) But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my
neighbor?”
(30) In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him
and went away, leaving him half dead. (31) A priest happened to be going down
the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
(32) So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on
the other side. (33) But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man
was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. (34) He went to him and
bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his
own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. (35) The next day
he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’
he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you
may have.’
(36) “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell
into the hands of robbers?”
(37) The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on
him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Questions:
1. What virtue(s) does the parable show? Give the instance/s where you
see those virtue/s.
The story shows the Samaritan is a good guy. He sees a hurt man and helps him
right away, even though they're different. He does more than just feel bad; he cleans
the man's wounds, takes him to safety, and even pays for him to get better. He's kind,
brave, and open to helping anyone.
2. What do you think is the reason why the Good Samaritan helped the
stranger despite their social differences?
The Samaritan helped the hurt man for lots of reasons. Maybe he just saw
someone who needed help, no matter who they were, showing kindness. Or
maybe he wanted to show everyone that Samaritans are good people too,
breaking unfair rules. His religion taught him to help others, and his actions were
like a big thumbs-up to those beliefs. Maybe he even knew how bad it feels to be
hurt and didn't want anyone else to suffer like that.
3. If you are the Samaritan, would you do the same? Justify your answer.
The story makes us think about whether we would help someone in trouble, like the Samaritan.
It depends on what matters to you. Do you care about helping others, even if they're different? Can
you safely help without hurting yourself? Do you try to overcome any unfair thoughts you might
have about someone?

Lesson
1 Intersubjectivity
What’s In
In the parable, it is hard to imagine that a Samaritan would help a Jew since
he is considered by the Jewish society as an outcast. But what happened was the
other way around – he helped the Jew despite of their differences and the unfair
treatment to him. This story clearly explains how man can go beyond cultural
considerations and how one can overcome grudges to performing an ethical act
towards a needy person.
At the bus stop, I saw a lady alone, looking sad. Feeling a bit shy, I started talking to her.
We chatted about everything, from the weather to books! It wasn't long, but I felt happy and
connected. When we said goodbye, her eyes sparkled, like a little light had turned on. It was a
small thing, but it made me feel good.

What’s New
Intersubjectivity in General
Philosophy, unlike Theology, does not use primarily biblical texts in its
pursuit, though some religious texts are morally worthy to be examples in explaining
philosophical ideas like the previous reading we had. The Parable of the Good
Samaritan clearly explains the phenomenon of intersubjectivity in the human world.
Though it focuses on the Kingdom of God, it still validates the importance of
intersubjective relations of man.

What I Have Learned
To verify the knowledge you gained in this lesson, let us situate the idea
of intersubjectivity in your own personal experiences and let us check whether
its relevance in our lives.
Answer the following questions thoroughly. 3-5 sentences are
enough.
1. Are there instances in your life when you feel you are treated as an
object? Share some experiences. How does it feel? Would you do
the same treatment to others? Why?
Being treated like a robot without thoughts or feelings stinks. It happens
when people ignore my ideas, cut me off, or judge me based on what I am, not
who I am. I wouldn't want that for anyone, so I always try to treat everyone with
respect, seeing them as unique people with something to say. That's how we
build a better world, one meaningful connection at a time.
2. Give some personal experiences when you feel you are treated as a
subject. How do you feel when you are treated in that way? Is it
lawful to do the same to others? Why?
I feel best when people treat me like a friend, not a robot. They ask me
interesting things, really listen to my answers, and take my ideas seriously. This
makes me want to share what I know and feels like we're working together.
Treating everyone like this makes friendships stronger and things better, all
around.
3. What do you think is the reason why people treat others as objects?
Sometimes people treat others like things to use, not like real people. Maybe they have
unfair beliefs, don't care how they act, or are just caught up in society's rules that put some
below others. It's not good, but we can be different and see everyone as special.
14
5. Do you think that we can make a better world if we prioritize
intersubjective relationships over economic progress? Defend your
answer.
Treat others like real people, not robots. This builds a kinder world with
more understanding, fairness, and less unfairness. Progress is great, but it
shouldn't make us forget to connect and respect each other.
14
What I Can Do
In our present society, we can notice all kinds of differences of people in the
world that may result to inequality, injustice, and all sorts of abuses. In order to
create a better world, we have to be sensitive about these things and respond in kind
manner. Below are societal problems which need solutions from intersubjective point
of view. Understand each statement and give concrete solutions. Use the ideas on
intersubjectivity elaborated by the philosophers we discussed. 3-5 sentences are
enough.
3. Many say that poor people are poor because of their mentality.
It's not a choice, it's unfair. Give them a chance, not judgment. Education, opportunity,
and a helping hand, not blame.
14
