This text examines Hans Wagner's interpretation of reflection, specifically his distinction between noetic and noematic reflection. The author critiques this dualistic approach as a problematic construction, arguing that reflection is a singular act rather than two separate processes. Reflection is defined as the shift of focus from the external world toward the practical activities or performances of consciousness. Crucially, the author asserts that the act of reflection cannot be isolated from its object, as every action is inherently linked to its aim and content. Through reflection, a subject engages in a process of selection, distinguishing their personal contribution from external factors and constraints to which they had to adapt. Thus, reflection serves as the space where one recognizes what is truly their own work versus what was dictated by the goal or the nature of the task. Ultimately, the text highlights that not all elements of our actions belong to the self, as human performance is always embedded in a context of external purposes and meanings.
