Losing oneself (in a good way): on the value of full attention

Dorothea Debus

Philosophy

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The present paper considers the question whether, and if so how, a subject's
full attention to an object which she interacts with might have value. More specifically, I defend the claim that in order for a subject's activity to have value, it is sufficient that the subject give her full attention to the object towards which the activity is directed.
