Horizonal Extensions of Attention: A Phenomenological Study of the Contextuality and Habituality of Experience

Attention is a complex process that modulates perception in various ways.Phenomenological philosophy provides an array of concepts for describing the rich structures of attention, thereby avoiding reductions to singular aspects of an experiential spectrum. By suggesting various modes and levels of attentional experience, we intend to do some justice to its complexity, taking into account sub-personaland personal factors on the side of subjective (noetic)horizons and feature-oriented as well as context-oriented aspects on the side of objective (noematic) horizons.
