\nThe Depth of Intersubjectivity\, Joona Taipale
\nHusserl&rsquo\;s concept of &ldquo\;open intersubjectivity&rdquo\; expresses the peculiarity that the environment appears as being there for &ldquo\;anyone&rdquo\;. The possible co-perceivers structurally implicated have been considered as anonymous\, unspecified\, which is another way of saying that the horizontally implicated &ldquo\;anyone&rdquo\; refers to no one in particular\, but to &ldquo\;any alter egos whatever&rdquo\;. I will focus on this tacit structural referencing of potential others and challenge the claim of anonymity. What I have in mind is not merely that the potential others implicated in our experience of the cultural world are particularized as co-members of one&rsquo\;s community or &ldquo\;homecomrades&rdquo\;. Instead\, my point is that the implicated others (be it co-perceivers or co-members) are specified associatively in the light of our earlier interactive experiences. Differently put\, I want to show how the &ldquo\;co-positing&rdquo\; of others necessarily &ldquo\;echoes&rdquo\;\, and is &ldquo\;colored&rdquo\; by\, our earlier intersubjective experiences (and the ensuing introjections). The way in which we tacitly implicate anyone (i.e.\, typical co-perceivers and fellow humans) is influenced by the way in which we have interacted with particular others (i.e.\, particular tokens)\, whom serve as the primal institutors of the idea of &ldquo\;a typical perceiver&rdquo\;. Importing insights from phenomenology and psychoanalysis\, I will discuss the asymmetric structure of social perception and the sedimentation of experience\, and challenge the assumption of the anonymity of the &ldquo\;anyone&rdquo\;.
