Sedentary Spatiality

Four prominent concepts of Space are--it is a fixed container of all existence (Newton); it is the expanse of the universe as perceived from a particular frame of reference (Einstein); it is an abstract relation between perceived elements (Hume); and, it is a perceptual construct of the experiential world (Kant). Merleau-Ponty's concept introduces Motility as a conditioning factor of Space, e. g. hand-eye coordination. The theory of Space being presented here also implicates Motility, but not insofar as Space is a mere facilitator of physiological motion. Rather, as has been discussed, the theory reveals Spatiality to be the very structure itself of Motility. It thereby calls into question the traditional privileging, including Merleau-Ponty's, of a sedentary perspective on Spatiality, a privileging which the theory challenges as arbitrary, if not groundless.
