The human person is considered as “being with
others”, which means that his or her identity and
destiny are shaped by relating with others. Human
existence is a continual dialogue with the other, and
that the self becomes whole through interaction
with other people and his or her surroundings.
Empathy
or the ability to share emotions, is an important aspect of
intersubjectivity. This emotion is driven by a person’s awareness
that the other is a person with thoughts and feelings. Human
persons are actively aware of the emotional states of other people,
and they use this information to determine their own actions and
behavior.
Empathy
enables us to experience another person’s
emotions, such as happiness, anger, and
sadness. In a manner of speaking, sympathy
is “feeling with” and empathy is “feeling in”.

be at the disposal of another. You may have
encountered a situation where you needed help.

dimension of relationships and interactions. This

help other people, most especially the vulnerable.
Ethics of Care
Proponents of the ethics of care believe that
people have a moral obligation to respond to the
needs of other people; and one cannot turn a
blind eye on the problems of others. People relate
to each other in different ways and this gives rise
to varying degrees of dependence among people.
Alienation
A person that adopts this negative view is said
to be experiencing alienation. This arises when a
person ceases to view the other as a distinct
and authentic person and merely considers the
other person as a mere object or a means to
satisfy personal interest.

Take Note
Not all human interactions are positive. There are those who
view other people negatively and consider human actions as
being influenced by selfish acts.
Our human nature drives us to feel indignation against these
kinds of behavior because we know the these action are an
insult to human dignity.
Society must be founded on relationships and bonds
established through mutual respect and recognition of human
dignity.
