  2. How do we see ourselves? • Are we objects or processes? (Are we static or dynamic?) • Can we change or are we burdened by our personal histories? • Literal viewpoint (externalized view) • As objects with features…grades…status…money • (Closed process) • Ironic or metaphorical viewpoint • See ourselves in context, changing • (Open process) • Shifting viewpoints (engaged versus detached) • Engaged (absorbed in our experiences) • Detached (outside of our experiences) • Can we unify these viewpoints?

  3. Actions Reactions

  4. WORLDS AGAIN... Inside one body… affected by the outside world… yet shaped by a personal existence. Are you showing how you feel inside? ADAPTATION and EXPERIENCE are both a two-way street - challenged and shaped by the outside world yet interpreted in a personal way.

  5. TWO ESSENTIAL COMPLEMENTARITIES (1) Forms of Knowledge: Objective Subjective Objective knowledge is supposedly about the external public world BUT it actually reflects internal learned conventions and standards. Subjective knowledge is supposedly about the internal private world BUT it is actually projected onto the imagined world out there.

  6. (2) Modes of being in the world:

  7. BUT - LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE! You cannot have thoughts without feelings… You also cannot emotions without thoughts… The question then is this: What kind of thought processes go with what kind of feeling processes when it comes to ADAPTATION and EXPERIENCE? This is the central question addressed by the course! How do the mind and body interact to shape adaptation and experience or the search for meaning?

  8. METHOD Examining episodes in everyday life… * Self as object * Self as process The search for process… Acts of Noticing as applied to everyday life… Apperception… in the world… being and acting in the world… in context… and aware of it!
