Summary:Comments on N. E. Coelho and L. C. Figueiredo's (same issue) theses on intersubjectivity, and proposes an action-theoretical and constructivist perspective based on the "I-other" problem. The centrality of the person's "I" as the overarching locus of action control and regulation is pointed out. Moreover, social impacts on the formation of the "I" are considered to be filtered, selected, evaluated, and assimilated by individuals, which leads to a personal construction of the "social other." (ZPID).
