The Midpoint of What Is Seen

Hemispatial Neglect and the Location of the Political Centre

An essay in political theory from the School of Underlying Conditions reads the clinical literature on hemispatial neglect as a description of a condition the theory of representation has no name for. It argues that neglect, unlike exclusion or domination, has no edge on the map of the one who neglects, that a polity which attends to part of itself sincerely places its centre at the midpoint of that part, and that the remedy is a second vantage and not a further supply of facts.
