How else characterize the prospective "grasp" the agent has on the future? " But one way or another, is it not necessary to say that the agent envisages, somehow, a state of things which is different from the present one, and then arranges things to fit it, and that that is what action is? But this suggestion seems to intellectualize beyond recognition the simple action of hitting a tennis ball. The fact is that we are short of philosophical terminology for dealing with action and we are forced to fall back on the dominant epistemological repertoire of concepts and terms: conception, idea, representation, mental picture, etc.
28 Time, Narrative, and History as each note is experienced as part of the melody as a whole, so the experience of it is lived through as part of the complex experience of the melody. We shall be returning to this notion that the flow of conscious life, like the temporal objects (events) we encounter around us, is lived as a complex of configurations whose phases figure as parts within larger wholes. Let us now conclude our account of the phenomenological approach to the temporality of experience by reflecting on what it has accomplished.
This factual openness has important consequences for our understanding of time-experience. If, as we have said, what we experience temporally are not isolated instants, but configurations which extend protentionally into the future, and if present and past are a function of the whole which includes that future, when what actually happens surprises us, then in an important sense the past is changed. That is, earlier, now-retained phases have become parts of a different whole and thus change their significance for us altogether.
