4. Reflection and Representation:¶
Introduction¶
The previous two weeks we have focussed on the different forms of relationships that we have with the world. When we interact with the world, when a world opens up to us, we attach meaning to the things we encounter: they represent something.
This week, we will look into the different ways a thing can represent something. We will discuss the differences between and similarities of reflection and representation
