inner sense, n.All

The Inner sense (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠amplified in its determination by every growth of knowledge, every advance in perception — a progress in time.

The Inner sense (n.) gives ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠no intuition of the soul itself as an object — only the form, time, under which the mind can intuit its own inner state.

The Inner sense (n.) observes ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠an inner world of which nothing is so much deception, and phenomenalism should not be looked for in the wrong place.

The Inner sense (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the way the mind is affected by its own activity — so that the subject knows itself only as it appears to itself, not as it is.

The Inner sense (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠only perceive the stirrings of our own will; the process of representing can never itself be perceived, only brought again to consciousness in reflection.

The Inner sense (n.) seems ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠undeniably real while outer objects might be illusion — yet both belong only to appearance, which always has two sides: the object in itself and the form of its intuition in the subject.
