| "To name the horizon in relation to the visual field is to name the World [...] With the auditory turn, however, the horizon does not show even such vague spatial significations except as thresholds of hearing." |
| While the visual field has a gemometrical shape that is spherical-like, the auditory field and its horizon are discernable only temporally. |
| In Heideggerian terms, Ihde describes the auditory horizon as the point at which sounds are given over into the present. Sound is a giving and listening is what "lets come into presence the unbidden giving of sound." |
| What is present, our central focus on our self, is always inside or contained within horizons. |
| "Presence is situated within its horizons" |
| In describing visual depth and horizonal perspective, Ihde says the latter has "a constant ratio of present to hidden, of visible to invisible" and that, auditorily, "this hidden depth is silence" |
