520 |a Attention has often been seen as a selective process in which the mind chooses which already-formed objects to focus on. However, as Merleau-Ponty and others have pointed out, this ignores the complexity and ambiguity of sensory information and imposes on it a set of already-formed objects in the world. Rather, attention is a process by which objects in the world are constituted by the perceiving subject. Attention thus involves a process of mutual negotiation with the environment. There are connections between this and the process of attente described by Simone Weil, in which the perceiving subject suspends the dominant preoccupations of the ego in order to become more aware of an independent reality. This, in turn, expresses in a more modern idiom what early Christian teachers had to say about the role of attentive looking in the contemplative life.
