Intersubjective means common to several subjects. That is, for example, if I see an object “red” and you see it “red”, then we can talk about the intsubjective nature of this experience.
There is a difference between” intersubjectivity “and” objectivity ” – the latter implies the presence of something independent of the subject, while the former only says that it is present in the experience of several subjects, removing the question of objectivity.
For example, we can talk about the intersubjectivity of language. We use words with the same meanings – this is a condition of communication. The meanings of words are not purely subjective (if I start using words in an arbitrary way, you will hardly understand me), but at the same time, this does not mean that words have an objective, independent meaning from people.
