This text explores the conceptual distinction between introspection and reflection within the context of psychological and philosophical self-examination. The author critiques the term "introspection" for its inherent tendency to objectify subjective reality, treating the inner self as an external object of observation—a perspective rooted in Ancient Greek notions of "seeing" truth through simple observation. Instead, the author advocates for the term "reflection," which emphasizes the dynamic and active nature of the subject. Unlike passive introspection, reflection involves a conscious "flexion" or bending of one’s actions away from the external environment and back toward oneself. This process allows individuals to critically evaluate their deeds, recognize errors, and assume personal responsibility for their actions. While introspection attempts to transform the subjective into the objective, reflection represents a deliberate shift of the subject toward their own agency and moral consequences. Through reflection, the individual does not merely observe but actively engages with their own activities, facilitating ethical growth and self-improvement.
