Irrational functions simply perceive what's happening, either on the inside or on the outside. Rational functions are founded on reason. It's a more developed kind of mental activity. I don't have the exact source now, but it might have been "Psychological types".Originally Posted by Rusal
Like Si for example, it simply perceives the impressions that the psyche produces. That's all.
The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.
