ABSTRACT
The connection between spatiality and objectivity requires exploration – an exploration that depends itself on additional clarification of the nature of agency and its preconditions, the connection between agency and causality. It is the notion of causality that plays a large part in enabling a richer and more detailed conception of the connection between agency, objectivity, and spatiality. The concept of objectivity is tied to the concept of independence from the particular perspective of the experiencing, thinking subject. The concept of objectivity stands in a crucial relation to that of causality, both in terms of the ordering of action and experience, and in terms of objectivity itself. Spatiality and embodiment – and the idea of the locality in which action is embedded – are essential to the possibility of agency. The interdependence of subjectivity and spatiality is analogous to the interdependence of subjective and objective spatiality.
