reflexive self-consciousness

This consciousness he called "reflexive self-consciousness" (resec for short).

To seek God, the infinite, from the perspective of this finite, reflexive self-consciousness, is to seek based on memory, history, accumulated knowledge and concepts.

This return of consciousness to its source, is the Reflexive Self-Consciousness of the title of the book.

Reflexive self-consciousness is a concept, related to that of enlightenment, formulated by Eugene Halliday during the 1940s-1950s in England.

In his seminal work "Reflexive Self-Consciousness", he sets out the nature of consciousness and its relation to the world of phenomena, being, and mankind.

He left a legacy of written, artistic and spoken work setting out his principles of self-development, the way to reflexive self-consciousness and an understanding of how to live in the world.
