Zero-Point for the Holidays

Here’s an interesting little paper from Otto Bollnow entitled Lived-Space. It’s an excellent example of Phenomenology at work, a study of interaction between the self and the world it moves in. I bring it up both for your pleasure and because I tend to think of it when I change between what Bollnow calls Zero-Points in the work. Zero-Points are the central locations of orientation and organization in lived space, they are your “home” in both the strong and weak senses of the word.
