He means that we cannot prove an absolute distinction between inner and outer perception. Introspection and its methods are an example of inner perception. It's not a matter of "eventuality;" the distinction cannot be justified. Oh, there might be one, but we cannot know because any argument trying to prove it would be circular. Aside from this logical point, not proof for the power has been given, and this might still be true today.khadimirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12960757465883819380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1247368540862329841.post-23303770663703901602012-06-20T21:17:41.305-05:002012-06-20T21:17:41.305-05:00Just a quick comment on whether we have the power ...Just a quick comment on whether we have the power of introspection, or in other words deciphering the meaning of our own thoughts and actions. A true purpose if you will. I think introspection is primarily a learned process and not something that can be taught by any one individual to another. It is a journey, not just of self-discovery, but discovering the self over and over again dependent on situation, circumstance, the other. To say it is dependent on the other does not mean it is perception. The other and the individual are inseparable from each other. The other would be as different without you as you would be without it, though it may no actually be that symmetrical. Therefore, introspection must necessarily take into account perception eventually. I do not think perception comes before introspection. Many would say that we need perception in order to come into introspection because we would have nothing to think about otherwise. I think, since emotions are as important to memories as thoughts and we do a vast amount of our learning as very young children, our emotions and feelings as babies are tantamount to introspection. Finding who we are and asking for out needs.<br /><br />In terms of question 7 I believe we can think things other than though itself. Not even necessarily outside thought but unconsciously tapping into a greater thought process and turning that into a subjective experience. I think that it is all a physical process, fractal in form, based off of organic processes beyond our temporal and spatial understanding.Requisite Softwarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643131683906855949noreply@blogger.com
