Abstrakt

During an epoch of population explosion, such as that characterizing our own time, it is quite natural that philosophers should be concerned about the nature of intersubjectivity. The matter becomes more than merely interesting when the masses which issue from this explosion take on that faceless and sheep-like trait which is said to typify the contemporary hordes of humans. Is any relation other than this impersonal and superficial one possible among such large numbers?
