Modal-intentional understanding of reflection

Abstract

In modern conditions of increasing complexity and uncertainty, reflection as a necessary condition for self-organization and self-development, is given increased attention in psychological research. Within the framework of the non-classical paradigm, the activity components of reflection are investigated: methods, types, forms, means, mechanisms, processes, stages, properties that are revealed in the existence of reflection in thinking, consciousness, personality, perception and activity. We turned to the definition of the independent existence of reflection, therefore, its ontology. We have identified the modalities of reflection,developed on the basis of the principle of triangulation a triangular network of modalities of reflection, permeated with the intentionality of reflection and regulated on the basis of dynamic balance with the help of reflection itself, its modalities. Such a systemic view of the integrity of reflection corresponds to the principles of the post-nonclassical paradigm and has an applied meaning – modal – intentional analysis of reflection allows to single out not only the level of development of modalities and orientations, but also to purposefully influence development to increase the stability of the personality in situations of problematicity and uncertainty. 

Keywords: reflection, modality, intentionality, triangulation principle, dynamic equilibrium, integrity, modal analysis, ontology
