The space around me |
| This is a collection of htm / html documents created from 1989 to present. The formate allows (1) to navigate within and between files, and (2) their tying up into topics with respective index lines (formal details). The selected topics try to inquire into the whole extent of space accessible to scientific exploration. Here, space includes, in addition to its physical meaning, also the distance separating each individual from the others. |
| Due to our unintended appearance as an isolated person among several others who shared this fate before us, and to our plain helplessness in these early moments, we desperately need help during this critical period. It was Sigmund Freud who coined the label 'psychic apparatus' for the first motoric and sensory aptitudes acquired during these our first interactive encounters. |
| So it was up to us to explore as a newborn not only our physical, but also our social space. Infact both processes occurred simultaneously in a multiply interwoven way. We accomplished this complex task more or less helpfully supported by our genes and by the dynamic structure of our first environment, including physical, alimentory and many other conditions. |
| If I now subdue to the task to analyze what has become of this space in my adulthood, raised up and instructed diligently in logical thinking, in language and in reading and writing, I have to make reasonable use of this 'psychic apparatus' of mine, to the aspired effect to be understood by subjects commanding a similar (though never identical) apparatus. This will allow productive interaction with - more or less - matching partners. |
| Such task meets several problems. (1) You can never be sure that any vis-à-vis catches spontaneously the meaning of what you are saying / writing. (2) The way you expand your thoughts may, to some listeners / readers, appear cumbersome or strange, often due to formal aspects required for the build-up of logical argument. These formal aspect may sometimes divert attention from the semantic content, leading (at least temporarely) to distraction. (3) In the extreme, this 2nd problem may even cause - offending - derision. |
| Already as a child, I often was subject to this last type of treatment. This humilitating and discouraging experience did not miss its effect on the shaping of my personal apparatus. It somehow refused to develop into normal completeness and left me as an adult with sociophobia. My psychological state may be ranked among the numerous autistic spectrum disorders (although I never received any such diagnosis). |

outlined this, you may now find better access to this collection of
thoughts and arguments. Probably you will miss the possibility to leave
comments. Don‘t search for an E-mail address. There is no mentioning of any. |
