Abstract
Embodiment and inter-subjectivity underlie one’s subjectivity in Husserl’s view. Based in Russian intuitivism Husserl’s adherent Losskij has offered phenomenological opposition: one’s act of distinguishing (mine ness) – common perception content given from both kinds of access which Overgaard identified as felt and perceived (given ness). The paper considers the self-other perspective-taking in order to reveal its psychodynamic relevance. One’s disposition towards Big Two drives (ego-communion) specifies self-other differentiation. The Zondy test was used in the experiment. The Correspondence analysis of participants’ disposition towards BT drives and three arrays of utterances (all, about others, about oneself) made obvious the impact of one’s disposition upon the distribution of the self-other utterances in the first two arrays. Additionally, in the aggregate of utterances about others, one’s disposition also significantly correlates with the choice of the utterance type about others. Thus, one’s disposition moderates the utterance content about other people.Keywords
