The Importance of Observing How Others See
Observing how others see involves two key steps. Firstly, individuals must learn to see themselves seeing, understanding that their perception is influenced by their background and surroundings. This idea was inspired by early 20th-century Gestalt psychologists who emphasized the concept of perceiving wholes rather than parts. Secondly, observing how others see, known as hyper reflection, involves analyzing the patterns and assumptions influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world around them.
