Rethinking Two Explanations of Perceptual Presence:An Analysis Based on Temporality
Among the many explanations of perceptual presence,neurocentric explanations are favoured because they are based on relevant scientific findings.In contrast,the sensorimotor explanation suggests that perceptual presence is rooted in the perceptual subject's possession of sensorimotor knowledge about how to reach the invisible parts or sides of object,while the intersubjective explanation suggests that the occurrence of perceptual presence presupposes the possible perceptions of a plurality of other subjects.These two interpretations capture the key ele-ments for understanding perceptual presence,namely the possible perceptions related to corporeality and intersub-jectivity;an examination in light of the notion of temporality in phenomenology suggests that they are complementary to each other for understanding perceptual presence.In the sense of subjective time,perceptual presence is a phe-nomenon that occurs in the living present,and the possible perceptions on which it depends need not be accounted for by means of neural representations.The exploration of the problem of perceptual presence should comprehen-sively consider the dimensions of lived booly,intersubjectivity and temporality,and should not be limited to neural activity related to perceptual presence.
