The set of organized perceptual abilities in a subject (After K. SAYRE).
This author contemplates the existence of several different associated perceptual fields: visual, auditory. tactile…
He adds: “If the objective presentations constituting a given field from moment to moment are focused around a constant ”inward locus“, this subjective locus assumes the character of self-identity through time… The subject thereby both provides temporal continuity to the individual field of awareness and serves as a reference by which different fields can present simultaneous appearances. As KANT remarked with typical acuity, while space is the form of all outer appearances, all inner determinations are represented in relations of time” (1976, p.246-7).
