The Spatiality of Subjectivity

Publication |
2016

Abstract

This article describes how the spatiality of our existence determines the temporal relations that inform the contents of our consciousness. It argues that the extension of time-the fact the moments that compose it do not collapse into each other-can only be explained in terms of the dependence of time on space.

Such dependence causes us to rethink the concept of subjectivity according to a multi-dimensional spatial paradigm, one that crosses the traditional divide between minds and bodies.
