Hello Class Mates.
I was traveling and missed last weeks class. However, when I listen to the recording, I noted that Jack changed the word of a student’s comment. He changed her word “perception†to “perspectiveâ€.
Pondering this distinction, it appears that “perception†has interpretative elements that occur within a perspective of how space and time operate .
First the perspective with its rules of space and time and then within those constraints, various perception arise.
Jack, can you comment on this in class?

Hayward and Soudi,
Perhaps there’s a clue in ordinary language:
Perspective/inspection/respectful/spectacles–seem to emphasis the way we look–seeing at one remove.
Perception/inception/reception–seem to suggest the possibility of coming together, of something new coming into being, of the other being welcomed in.
Setting the sights of my “perspective” on the hawk flying overhead, a perception of the freedom of flight flooded my eyes.
Thank you Hayward.
I still feel that the two (perceptions and perspectives) are very tangled up, and can not distinguish how they do not influence each other, or which dominates or comes first… I guess as I continue to learn English as an adult rather than the language I learned going to school and native in, the nuances are not so clear …
