Primary Reflection- which is the ability to think logically. The ability of the mind to construct and evaluate arguments. It
examines its object by abstraction, by analytically breaking it down into its constituent parts. It is concerned with
definitions, essences and technical solutions to problems. The second type is Secondary reflection. According to Marcel
this type of reflection enables us to look deeper into our experiences and see the bigger picture of reality. It integrates
the fragmented and compartmentalized experience into a whole. It is the idea that various systems (e.g. physical,
biological, social) should be viewed as wholes, not merely as a collection of parts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holism
