20180331 主に書籍からの抜粋引用『Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind』pp.131~132 Written by Yuval Noah Harari 

昨日投稿分記事にて述べたように本日は書籍にあった興味深い記述を抜粋引用します。また、つい先日、この記述内容に対してより精確な理解を得ようと、同著和訳版を読んでみますと、『objective』は客観的、『subjective』は主観的、そして『inter-subjective』は共同主観的と訳されていました。
これは『なるほど』と納得出来る訳ですが、当初自身は、大体同じような感じではあるのかもしれませんが『objective』は対象化された、『subjective』は個々に課せられた、『inter-subjective』は共通して個々に課せられたと訳して読んでいました・・(笑)。ともあれ、こうした半解の状態にて他言語にて書かれた著作を読み進めている時の感覚とは、母国語のそれを読む進めるのとまた異なった面白さがあるように思われます。

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankindpp.131~132

Written by Yuval Noah Harari

The imagined order is inter-subjective. Even if by some super-human effort succeed in freeing my personal desires from the grip of the imagined order, I am just one person. In order to change the imagined order I must convince millions of strangers to cooperate with me. For the imagined order is not a subjective order existing in my own imagination of thousands and millions of people.

 In order to understand this, we need to understand the difference between objective, subjective, and inter-subjective.

 An objective phenomenon exists independently of human consciousness and human beliefs. Radioactivity, for example, is not a myth. Radioactive emissions occurred long before people discovered them, and they are dangerous even when people do not believe in them. Marie Curie, one of the discoverers of radioactivity, did not know, during her long years of studying radioactive materials, that they could harm her body. While she did not believe that radioactivity could kill her, she nevertheless died of aplastic anaemia, a disease caused by overexposure to radioactive materials.

 The subjective is something that exists depending on the consciousness and beliefs of a single individual. It disappears or changes if that particular individual changes his or her beliefs. Many a child believes in the existence of an imaginary friend who is invisible and inaudible to the rest of the world. The imaginary friend exists solely in the child’s subjective consciousness, and when the clild grows up and ceases to believe in it, the imaginary friend fades away.

 The inter-subjective is something that exists within the communication network linking the subjective consciousness of many individuals. If a single individual changes his or her beliefs, or even dies, it is of little importance. However, if most individuals in the network die or change their beliefs, the inter-subjective phenomenon will mutate or disappear. Inter-subjective phenomena are neither malevolent frauds nor insignificant charades. They exist in a different way from physical phenomena such as radioactivity, but their impact on the world may still be enormous. Many of history’s most important drivers are inter-subjective: law, money, gods, nations. 』
