46 Edith Stein This is just as true for the perception ofthe single spatial thing as for the cohesive spatial world, and, similarly, for movements of parts of the living body as fbr its movement as a whole. If I rest my hand on a rotating ball, this ball and its movement are given ro me as a succession of changing tactile data merging into an intention permeating the whole. These dara can be comprehended together in an "apperceptive grasp," a unified act ofouter perception. Data have the same sequence if my hand glides over the still ball, but the experience that "I move" supervenes anew and, with the apperception of the ball, goes inro the fbrm of "if ... rhen." Visual dara are analogous. While being still, I can see the changing appearances of'a rolling ball; and the "shades of' the ball" can look the same if the ball is still and I move my head or only my eyes. 1'his movemenl, again, is given t() me in "bodilv perception." 'I'his is how parts of the living body are consrituted as moving organs and the perceprion of the sparial world as dependent on the behavior of these ()rgans. But this does not yet show us how we comprehend the movements of living bodies as movements of physical bodies. When I move one of my limbs, besides becoming bodily aware of my own movement, I have an ()uter visual or tacrile perception of physical body movemenrs to which the limb's changed appearances testify. As the bodily perceived and outwardly perceived limb are interpreted as the same, so there also arises an identical coincidence of the living and physical body's movemenr. 'I'he moving living body becomes the moved physical body. And the fact that "I move" is "seen with" the movement of a part of my physical body. The unseen movement of the physical body in the experience of "I move" is comprehended jointly. The afliliation of the "I" with the perceiving body requires some further elucidation. The impossibility of being rid of the body indicates its special givenness. This union cannot be shaken; the b
