Dmitrieva, A. A. Pluralistic Models of Introspection: Main Ideas and Some Conclusions
Abstract:
The author of the article analyzes the content of pluralistic modes of introspection offered by modern analytical
philosophers of the mind Jessie Prince, Eric Schwitzgebel and Jessie Butler comparing their approach to the
perception concept of introspection typical for the philosophy of the Early Modern Period and critics of introspection
typical for the early analytical philosophy of the mind. Moreover, the author of the article makes an attempt
to use pluralistic models of introspection in order to the question about whether ‘introspection’ can be considered
to be a scientific term, to compare pluralistic models of introspection with the theory of perception theory of the
mind as well as to discuss the question about accuracy of introspection forms. In her article the author uses comparative
and historical research methods that are based on a detailed conceptual analysis of different approaches
to introspection. Theauthormakesthefollowingconclusions. Firstly, perceptionmodels of introspection are a ‘middle
way’ between naïve belief in introspection and absolute skepticism towards it. In case we assume that perception
models of introspection are generally correct, then, secondly, the term ‘introspection’ can be used in terms of scientific
research only when a particular introspection form is clarified. Thirdly, introspection forms can be associated
with the modules of attention, working memory and so on. Fourthly, the author establishes that different forms of
introspection has a different level of accuracy.
Keywords:
