Intimate Immensity

intimate: space and time devoted to individualism
immensity: philosophical category of daydream (daydream: original contemplation)~pg.183

Chapter 8 analyzes man and the effects of different types of daydream. From the motionless to infinitive, each daydream is stretched to pass the time and provide the ability to analyze solely on individual characteristics. I found this chapter to be rather intriguing in that it compared the intimate with the exterior in a structural sense as well as a personable sense, always referring to man and our role on the environment we inhabit. Within the space we inhabit, there are specifics: space of intimacy and world space, which both become identical when immensities touch. (pg. 203)
