Leering at attractive persons, objects, as the opposite of Schopenhauer’s “pure subject” (and maybe of scientific inquiry also — is leering the opposite of science or can one be said to leer through a microscope? Maybe the scientist as a scientist is like the artist as an artist a pure subject.)
Rather than becoming “full” with the object, rather than concentrating on it, one is distracted by it and made to vanish in it… You are not full with it, and it is not full with you, and yet you can be no where else. One is objectified by the object (made into a leerer for one thing) rather than being the observing subject of the object.
