Awareness is within view (7)
I believe the answer is:
insight
'awareness' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'within view' is the wordplay.
'within' becomes 'in'.
'view' becomes 'sight' (synonyms).
'in'+'sight'='INSIGHT'
'is' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for insight that I've seen before include "famous Sunday Times team" , "Clear or deep perception of a situation" , "ability to perceive clearly" , "comprehension" , "Imaginative penetration" .)
