Reaction to Fisher

I have mainly two reactions to this text.

Firstly, I thought "Perception Of Self" is much easier to read than Barna or Mcdaniel's text. The examples which were shown in the text are familiar, such as "two-headed vase" one. It was very interesting because at first I can only see a black vase in the middle, and then I gradually started to see two white faces in the on the edge which made me not to see the vase anymore. I learned about the optical illusion in my psychology class, but I didn't know that these perceptions come from not only sensation of eyes but also from brain.(because we can only concentrate one meaning from the object we see, and this work is concerned with our experience as one of the conditions!)

Another reaction is that "Perception Of Self" is also perception. In other word, when we read this text we make ourselves understand it, and try to make it easier by ourselves. There should be many ways of this text's interpretation, which comes from each one's experience, way of selection, and evaluation. There is no right answer in the class discussion, because the writer only knows the intention of this text. Therefore, as I read  it, I thought the class discussion is not for finding the answer or truth, but finding the many-sided ways of interpretation thorough discussing and listening to other section mates' way of thinking.

These two are my reactions. Thank you for reading :)
