ABSTRACT
Thus far we have tried to look at space and the thingswhich inhabit it, both animate and inanimate, through the eyes of perception and to forget what we find ‘entirely nat-
ural’ about them simply because they have been familiar to us
for too long; we have endeavoured to consider them as they are
experienced naïvely. We must now try to do the same with
respect to human beings themselves. Over the last thirty or
more centuries, many things have undoubtedly been said about
human beings. Yet these were often the products of reflection.
