ABSTRACT
Research in developmental psychology over the last 30 years has found a remarkable correlation that supports the views of Davidson and Husserl, that only given a significant amount of socialization. Davidson argued that without interacting linguistically with others, people could not recognize their thoughts. Davidson concludes that our grasp of objectivity depends on our linguistic interactions with others. Husserl introduces an argument in the Cartesian Meditations that ties our concept of objectivity to our interactions with others. Husserl argued that in order to realize that objects exist independently of our experience of them, it is necessary to realize that there are possible perspectives on those objects that we do not have. Our concept of objectivity depends on our interactions with others. By combining the more convincing aspects of Davidson and Husserl's approaches to this issue, an as-yet-unexplored, possible explanation emerges.
