Abstract
In his 1929 Paris lectures, Edmund Husserl remarks that the problem of the other subject is “the only truly unsettling difficulty” within the program of transcendental phenomenology (Hua I, 34, cf. Hua XV, 3).1 As the ongoing publication of Husserl’s Nachlaβ has documented, it was also a problem Husserl worked intensively to come to grips with. For at least three decades, Husserl drafted one manuscript after the other centering on the different aspects of intersubjectivity.
