The phone call came mid-afternoon in February of 1996. The program
chair for the annual meeting for the Southern Society of Philosophy
and Psychology wanted to make sure he had the facts right. "This is
somewhat unusual..." he began. "You're a philosophy professor who
wants to present to psychologists in the psychology portion of the
meeting." "That's right." "Well your paper was accepted for that
part of the program but the others just wanted me to check and make
sure that's where you want to be presenting." "That's right."
Reassured, the professor wished me luck and said good-bye. In my
session at the meeting, I was the last to present. As my time
approached, the medium-sized room slowly became crowded. I dreamed
that these psychologists had left their other meetings early to
make sure to catch my presentation on the use of metaphors in
attention research. As I arose to present I noticed that the
half-full room had become standing room only! Finally, after years
of feeling as if I was struggling alone in promoting and defending
a phenomenology of attention, I had an eager audience for my
message. My persistence had paid off. I delivered my message with
passion.
