Abstract

In the Fifth Meditation of the Cartesian Meditations, Husserl argues for 'intersubjectivity' from the perspective of solving the fundamental problem of the 'same objective world'. By examining the constitution of the 'same objective world' in the text of the Fifth Meditation, it is found that both the 'same objective world' itself and the "world horizon" on which it is based is problematic. Husserl’s argument for 'intersubjectivity' is therefore also questionable, and 'intersubjectivity',' same objective world', and their related concepts remain open questions.
