# Comments on Christoph Hoerl’s “Experience and Time- Transparency and Presence” Elliot Carter **Opening (not a real abstract):** Visual spatial awareness is perspectival, in the sense that the way the spatial properties we experience appear to us seems to depend on where we see them from. For example, when you see a chair, it seems to you that if you had a different point of view, you would have a different experience of the chair’s shape. Hoerl argues that there is no temporal analogue of a spatial viewpoint in perceptual experience, and thus experience is not temporally viewpointed as it is spatially viewpointed: **Authors:** [[Elliot Carter]]
