The Vanishing Point A Model of the Self as an Absence
The Monist 90 (3):432 - 456 (2007)
Abstract
The vanishing point is a representational gap that organizes the visual field. Study of this singularity revolutionized art in the fifteenth century. Further reflection on the vanishing point invites the conjecture that the self is an absence. This paper opens with perceptual peculiarities of the vanishing point and closes with the metaphysics of personal identityAuthor's Profile
