This episode explore the multifaceted nature of introspection, its historical context in psychology, and its validity as a method for understanding consciousness and mental processes. Several sources critically examine the limitations and potential pitfalls of introspection, discussing issues such as observational, interpretative, and verbal distortions, as well as the impact of introspection on decision-making. Counterarguments defending the possibility and utility of introspection are also presented, emphasizing its role in phenomenology and neurophenomenology, and proposing alternative frameworks for evaluating first-person reports based on coherence and authenticity rather than strict correspondence. Furthermore, some texts investigate specific applications of first-person methods in studying consciousness, self-experience, and subliminal perception, while others trace the historical rise and fall, and eventual persistence of introspection as a psychological tool.
