21/02/20 Attention

William James (1842-1910)
“Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid
form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought.
Focalization, concentration or consciousness are aware of its essence. It implies withdrawal
from some things in order to deal effectively with others”.
