The Phenomenology of the Second-Person Plural

This book presents the case that there are forms of human interaction which should be understood as second-person plural. It engages with the work of Sartre, Levinas and contemporary phenomenology to show that this claim is not just about grammatical forms of address, but about the phenomenology of our intersubjective experience.
