As a result, apart from entering the barrier corner formed by “visual blindness” that has been defined by clear-vision people, the action space being developed by the vision handicapped person from their own “vision” contains a unique sense of quality and image of the world. How does the vision handicapped person perceive and interpret the outside world with their non-visual organ? These are issues that this study will address. In this study, the book written by the vision handicapped person will be used as the analysis basis on their sensing organ experience. As a first step, the Logical Square of Gremias was employed to separate the inner meaning of “Sensual Organ Experience” into four aspects of “consciousness and experiencing”, “perception and experience”, “communication and action” and “power and structure”. Through text analysis, the hidden unique contents outside the blended writing among the works of the vision handicapped was searched through the “Intertextual Inference Analysis” and “Dialogue between Theory and Text”. Listed in the following are the main findings: First, On “Consciousness and Experience”: The vision handicapped person by post-natal blindness usually presents the separated language phenomenon between “themselves” and “blind”. This would not happen to a vision handicapped person by natural blindness, as they tend to follow their own sensual organ in reading the world and themselves. Second, On “Perception and Experience”: The previous “vision memory” of the vision handicapped by post-natal blindness gradually “fades away along with use”. In comparison, the vision handicapped person by natural blindness lacks the meaning and content of “shape” concept in the process of recognition development. Third, On “Communication and Action”: The vision handicapped person by post-natal blindness usually employs a “criticizing” attitude; while the vision handicapped by natural blindness demonstrates the communication attempt to “dialogue”. In spite of this, both use the approach of “staring at others” as the communication mechanism hoping that they may see themselves by playing the role of others. Fourth, On “Power and Structure”: The vision handicapped person by post-natal blindness will sense the “dominating power by visual ideology” which will not happen to the vision handicapped person by natural blindness. As far as this issue is concerned, “staring” and “being” share an equivalent structural relationship and usually they are “not being stared at” because they are “unable to stare”.
