The wide-eyed, surprised and fascinated stare of the very young infant out at the world contains no sense of all of this being constituted or staged in the mind, the child is not an idealist, nor is he a realist. Time and space, or rather the density and thickness of time and space are present without being so identified but as pure intelligibility without a subject. When you seek to undo the lostness in the world that has later come over you it is not by further hair-splitting over its terms but as a knowing reawakening of that awed and ready absorption in presence.
