That is not a philosophical question!. It's the fake word-game "philosophy" you find in any coffee shop!. That's where it belongs, not in this forum!.

I guess the insinuation is that whoever you're asking it to is facing one corner of the room, instead of looking at the rest of it; i!.e!., a metaphor for being focused on one tiny part of the world and blind to the rest of it!.

Questioning the breadth of other people's experience or education, especially with bad metaphors disguised as philosophy, is kind of smug!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is impossible to see more than one corner because a corner can only look like itself!. Therefore, whether there existed 1 or 1,000 corners, it is just one corner that is ever realized, independent of how many are observed!.

You can say that one can only derive the concept of the corner, but never know the corner in and of itself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Unless you're asking a really complicated philosophical question, then there is a really simple answer!. If I lie on the floor and look at the ceiling, I can see all four corners of the room!. Its about changing your perspective!. Is that what you were looking for!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't have corners in my room!.!.it's round and has padding and they won't let me out

Seriously though!.!.I can see 3 corners unless I turn to see the fourth one

Metaphorically !.!.!.I have tunnel vision!.!.I can only concentrate one one thing at a time or I get distractedWww@QuestionHome@Com
