Abstract

This paper approaches the process of ‘reflection’ as an interpersonal and intra-personal creative act. As commonly used, the word ‘reflection’ appears to reference two seemingly different processes; the returning of a mirror image and the process of reflective thought. Examining the intersection of these two definitions – from infant development, through attachment theory to post-Kleinian thinking and Lacan – this paper finds that the act of ‘reflection’ can be conceived of as an act of triangulation, in a mathematical sense, whereby a pre-existing but unknown point is found/made using two known points as the vertices.

“我在看着你。你在我身上看到你自己了吗?作为三角测量的反射

本文将“反思”过程视为一种人际和个人内部的创造行为。通常，“反思”一词似乎指的是两种看似不同的过程;镜像的回归和反思思维的过程。检查这两个定义的交集-从婴儿发展，通过依恋理论到后克莱因思维和拉康-这篇论文发现，“反思”的行为可以被认为是一种三角测量的行为，在数学意义上，通过使用两个已知的点作为顶点来发现/制造一个预先存在但未知的点。
