The perspective of "here" and "there" can be described best, I think, as concommitant with and subsequent to the "I" and "thou" relationship of people. When we begin to make, use or agree with statements like 'there is no longer any "there"' are we not divulging a much more profound truth that we have begun to abandon the reality that "others" exist apart from "me"? If there is no longer any “there” and only a “here”, then is there also no longer any “thou” and now only “I”?
