Temporality as a Spatial Field of Presence

Original language description

According to Merleau-Ponty in his Phenomenology of Perception, we experience time as a &quot;field of presence.&quot; In his words, &quot;It is in my &apos;field of presence&apos; in the widest sense [...] that I make contact with time, and learn to know its course.&quot; This field is fundamental. It elucidates my spatial apprehension. In his words: &quot;Perception provides me with a &apos;field of presence&apos; in the broad sense, extending in two dimensions: the here-there dimension and the past-present-future dimension. The second elucidates the first.&quot; In other words, I understand the spatial &quot;here-there&quot; dimension in terms of the temporal dimension. The &quot;there&quot; is what I immediately grasp in still having in hand &quot;the immediate past.&quot; In this article, I propose to examine the general conception of time as a field of presence. This examination can be seen as a kind of &quot;thought experiment,&quot; where we see what happens when we reverse this relation-i.e., when we elucidate the &quot;past-present-future dimension&quot; in terms of the &quot;here-there dimension.&quot; Such a reversal, I will argue, brings to the fore the pragmatic, spatial character of lived time. Not only does it bring about a revision of horizonal structure of the field of presence, it also has consequences for psycho-analytical research.
