Our senses respond to the difference between values - to relative, not absolute, values.10 (It seems that knowledge and perception, and therefore experience, exist only in the relations between things.

In this emphasis on the body, the importance of empathy, and intersubjectivity (which forms part of what I mean by 'betweenness'), Husserl is asserting the essential role that the right hemisphere plays in constituting the world in which we live.

What we are being let into here [in a Renaissance poem] is something profound about the betweenness of emotional memory. Our feelings are not ours, ... they cross interpersonal boundaries as though such limits had no meaning for them: passing back and forth from one mind to another ... What we feel arises ... from the betweenness

In reality there can be neither ['objective' and 'subjective'] absolutely, only a choice between a betweenness which acknowledges itself, and one which denies its own nature. [IMHO just using the term, not explaining its role in this context.] By identifying blueness solely with the behaviour of electromagnetic particles one is not avoiding value, not avoiding betweenness, not avoiding one's shadow being cast across the picture.

if I say that 'I believe in you', ... It has the characteristic right-hemisphere qualities of being a betweenness: a reverberative, 're-sonant', 'respons-ible' relationship, in which each party is altered by the other and by the relationship between the two,

The sense of being a passive observer of life, not an actor in it, is related to the passivity phenomena that are a primary characteristic of the condition [schizophrenia]. ... There is a characteristic combination of omnipotence and impotence, of being all there is and yet nothing at all, which again follows from the lack of betweenness with what is, with the shared world of common experience.

Through his special use of language, particularly linguistic connectors, prepositions and conjunctions, to convey the experience of 'betweenness', ... Wordsworth brings about poetic formulations

Romanticism in fact demonstrates ... its preference for the betweenness which is felt across a three-dimensional world, rather than for seeing what is distant as alien, lying in another plane;

these features of modernism ... depersonalisation and alienation from the body and empathic feeling; disruption of context; fragmentation of experience; and the loss of 'betweenness'
... subjectivism and objectivism ... modernism (either polarity being at odds with a world in which there is still what I call betweenness)
... The interpreter's task is to look for meaning. But that meaning can only come to the representational world by allowing a betweenness with the world it represents - as words need their real world referents to have meaning.
... I am not let in on the secret, which every one else seems to understand. Notice that the focus of paranoia is a loss of the normal betweenness

The Aesthetes' creed of 'art for art's sake', ... is also a devaluation of art, in that it marginalises its relationship with life. In other words it sacrifices the betweenness of art with life,

Our relationship with what is beautiful is different [from our relationship with things we desire]. It is more like longing, or love, a betweenness, a reverberative process between the beautiful and our selves, which has no ulterior purpose, no aim in view, and is nonacquisitive.

the process [imitation] is not mechanical reproduction, but an imaginative inhabiting of the other, which is always different because of its intersubjective betweenness. The process of mimesis is one of intention, aspiration, attraction and empathy,

Music consists entirely of relations, 'betweenness'. ...
Music and poetic language are both part of the world that is delivered by the right hemisphere, the world characterised by betweenness.

The distinction I am trying to make is between ... a world in which what later has come to be thought of as subjective and objective are held in a suspension which embraces each potential 'pole', and their togetherness, together; and, on the other hand, the world we are more used to thinking of, in which subjective and objective appear as separate poles. At its simplest,a world where there is 'betweenness', and one where there is not. [IMHO just using the term, not explaining its role in this context.]

[The right hemisphere] is deeply attracted to, and given life by, the relationship, the betweenness, that exists with this Other.

If language began in music, it began in (right-hemisphere) functions which are related to empathy and common life, not competition and division; promoting togetherness, or, as I would prefer, 'betweenness'.

two opposing ways of dealing with the world ... The other tendency was centripetal, rather than centrifugal: towards the sense of the connectedness of things, before reflection isolates them, and therefore towards engagement with the world, towards a relationship of 'betweenness' with whatever lies outside the self.

these dichotomies may ... cease to be problematic in the world delivered by the right hemisphere, where ... what appears to the left hemisphere to be divided is unified, where concepts are not separate from experience, and where the grounding role of 'betweenness' in constituting reality is apparent.

there is something more fundamental about the world that is brought into being by the right hemisphere, with its betweenness, its mode of knowing which involves reciprocation, a reverberative process, back and forth, ... the way in which neurones behave is not linear, sequential, unidirectional: they behave in a reciprocal, reverberative fashion, and not just in the right hemisphere.
... It seems that this reciprocity, this betweenness, goes to the core of our being. Further than even this, there is fascinating evidence that betweenness and reciprocity exist at the level of cell structure

For it [the RH], though, knowledge comes through a relationship, a betweenness, a back and forth reverberative process between itself and the Other,

The Romantics, too, had a predilection for whatever can be only partly discerned -- for unfinished sketches, for the half-light of dawn ... Another way of looking at it is that in the process of completing, or attempting to complete, through imagination the fragmentary impression, one becomes in part the creator of what one perceives. Importantly, only in part: if the thing were either wholly given, so that we played no part at all, or wholly our invention, there would be no betweenness, nothing to be shared.

The camera model ... does not reach to reverberative, reciprocal movement, the betweenness of sight.
... And the relationship implied by the left-hemisphere ... is not no relationship -- merely a disengaged relationship, implying, incorrectly, that the observer does not have an impact on the observed (and is not altered by what he or she observes). The betweenness is not absent, just denied, and therefore of a particular -- particularly 'cold' - kind.
... The right hemisphere's gaze is intrinsically empathic, by contrast, and acknowledges the inevitability of 'betweenness':

there was originally no single word to convey the simple function of sight tout court. There were originally only words for relations with things, the quality of the experience, how the 'seer' stood towards the 'seen'.32 In other words sight had not been abstracted yet from its context within the lived world, where it is reverberative, itself alive, an expressive of betweenness

The breakthrough in Romantic thinking to the essential connectedness of things enabled them to see that those who are in awe of any great object ... feel something that is Other, certainly, but also something of which they partake. Because of the empathic connection or betweenness ... they both share in the character of the Other and
