Abstract
In this chapter Johns explains how our notion of time and space creates a one-dimensional mode of access into the world and its objects. Johns argues that the way we perceive the world is tautological, just like how we perceive and classify singular objects. It is the withdrawn relations of objects—withdrawn from experience and the present—that Johns is primarily interested in here. Johns describes how objects transform over time and place in order to disclose and exemplify the possible withdrawn relations within the object.
