Figure 1
The diagram presents two intersecting conceptual axes. The horizontal axis at the bottom is labeled “Sphere of the pure perception,” with points O, B, and A on the left, and “Line of pure duration,” with points A and A prime on the right with a rightward arrow, marked by small wave-like humps. The humps are shown between the points O and B, at A, at another A, and just after A prime. Three vertical lines labeled “uppercase sigma A, A,” “uppercase sigma A A,” and “uppercase sigma B A” extend upward from the second A, A prime, and the last hump, respectively, illustrating the “Line of memory-endowed duration.” The heights of these lines increase from left to right. A diagonal arrow extends from the trough of the first hump to the top of the third vertical line; a second diagonal arrow extends from the trough between the first and second humps to the top of the second vertical line; and a third diagonal arrow extends from the peak of the second hump to the top of the first vertical line, showing transitions from the “Sphere: of the senses or pure symbols” into the “Line of memory-endowed duration.”Phenomenological perspectives of Alfred Schutz.
