Mediated  Experience  

Faced  with  a  kind  of  chaos  of  imagery,  we  make  “sense”  of  the  world  in  order   to  produce  a  perspecDve  (an  idea)  that  we  can  use  to  measure  our   experience  of  other  different  or  similar  experiences.

“[W]ithout  the  “remove”  that  self-­‐consciousness  provides  us,  there  would  be  no   need  for  use  to  have  ideas,  to  think,  in  the  abstract,  about  anything…for  there   would  be  no  experience  of  anything  to  have  ideas  or  think  about”  (p.  8)
