Elina-- I spent a great many sessions with Russian grad students who were interested in this issue. We had a LOT of trouble with the fact that there seem to be a whole lot of words that appear to refer in overlapping ways with "self-consciousness." Terms in the family of reflectivity, reflexivity came up a lot among the Russian students, but they were trying hard to figure out what the right English words were for whatever Russian term was being used. Not just "samo-soznanie" was used in their conversations as well, with meta-cognition slipping in along with "reflexia." I am unsure what to suggest. What is occasion for the question? mike On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 9:14 AM, Larry Purss <lpscholar2@gmail.com> wrote: > Elina > > I wanted to express my appreciation of the quote you sign off with by > Tagore.
