Introspection: introspection is the investigation of a self-conscious subject of its own inner states. Prerequisites are, among other things, the ability to distinguish interior from external influences, as well as at least to some extent the use of a public language. Moreover, the subject must be able to compare past internal and external states with present internal and external states, and must be able to deliberately distinguish itself from other subjects._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

John R. Searle on Introspection - Dictionary of Arguments
I 117 Introspection/Searle: The model of face perception works on the assumption that there is a distinction between what is seen and what is seen. In introspection, there is no distinction to be made. >Consciousness, >Self-identification, >Self-knowledge. I 126 SearleVsIntrospection: introspection requires separation between act and object. I 168 Introspection/Searle: introspection is without problems, but it is not a specific skill. Wittgenstein: introspection is expressive and therefore not right or wrong. SearleVs: introspection does exist. Incorrigibility is pointless in relation to consciousness. Consciousness/Searle: consciousness has nothing to do with incorrigibility and introspection. Self-deception presupposes Cartesian dualism. >Dualism, >cartesianism, >incorrigibility._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
