Horizon
Horizons limit the overview of human orientation. One can see or understand something only if one limits one’s view. One does not at the same time look at the limit, but leaves it in the periphery, the background. Thus, one is not aware of one’s limits in orienting oneself. A horizon is a paradoxical limit, because when you look at it, it is no longer the horizon but something you look at before another horizon. This makes horizons temporary and flexible limits of delimiting spaces of viewing or understanding (chap. 5.1 and 5.4). One extends, restrains, or changes them all the time while changing one’s standpoint or perspective.
