June 22, 2002. Arnold Goldberg informs me that when I refer to an object in the world (visible in different perspectives), I am picturing myself as someone from an outside vantage point “looking out at and then representing (or characterizing) the world.” Mine is, I am told, a “view from nowhere,” a “spectator view of the world.” Enlightened by this exegesis, I now understand that when Arnold Goldberg recognizes “that we are always in the world,” he is not only an outside spectator who is looking at a world inhabited by an in-the-world Arnold Goldberg; he is also an Arnold Goldberg being spied upon by the vigilant Arnold Goldberg who sees how snugly he is stuck there. Is that, I wonder, an illustration of the famous vertical split that the inner? outer? Arnold Goldberg has written about so interestingly?
