"As we know, the ultimate effect of empathy is that universal superaddition of sense whereby my primordial 'world' becomes a truly objective world that transcends my sphere of ownness."
A.D. Smith, Routledge Philosophy Guidebook to Husserl and the Cartesian Meditations (New York: Routledge, 2010), p. 226.
"Yet, even with this, we still have not gone beyond the subject and his subjective, evident capacities; that is, we still have no 'objectivity' given. It does arise, however - in a preliminary stage - in understandable fashion as soon as we take into consideration the function of empathy and fellow mankind as a community of empathy and language. In the contact of reciprocal linguistic understanding, the original production and the product of one subject can be actively understood by others."
Husserl, "The Origin of Geometry" in Crisis, p. 360.
