Horizon structures perception of phenomena from "summary" of Ideas for a Pure Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy by Edmund Husserl
When we consider the phenomenon of perception, we must recognize that it is always situated within a certain horizon. This horizon shapes the way in which we perceive the world around us, influencing how we interpret and understand the various phenomena that present themselves to us. Our experiences are always colored by the horizon within which they occur, determining what is possible for us to perceive and how we make sense of what we perceive.
The horizon is not a fixed or static entity, but rather a dynamic and ever-changing framework through which we engage with the world. It is the context within which all of our experiences take place, providing the background against which we can distinguish different objects and events. Without the horizon, our perceptions would lack coherence and meaning, as there would be no framework within which to situate them.
The horizon is not something that we can step outside of or escape from, as it is a fundamental aspect of our experience of the world. It is not a limitation on our perception, but rather a condition for the possibility of perception itself. We are always situated within a horizon, whether we are aware of it or not, and it shapes the way in which we encounter and engage with the phenomena that present themselves to us.
By recognizing the role of the horizon in structuring our perception of phenomena, we can gain a deeper understanding of the nature of our experiences and the way in which we make sense of the world. It allows us to see that our perceptions are not objective representations of an external reality, but rather subjective interpretations that are always mediated by the horizon within which they occur. This insight opens up new possibilities for thinking about the relationship between the self and the world, and the way in which we come to know and understand the phenomena that surround us.
