Definitions

  1. The act process of extraspecting

    The act process of extraspecting; the perception of that which is other than one's own internal state.

    • But whoever is interested in the purpose-striving behavior, the emotional life and the internal states of man and of some higher animals cannot travel the road of extraspection exclusively: he must follow the path of introspection.
    • In the same way as the alleged mental occurrences of other people are reduced to the description of physical bodies, introspection is reduced by means of imitation to extraspection or autoimitation.
    • But some of this awareness has indirect objects that are not mental ; some introspection is also extraspection.
