What does ambicentric mean

An ambicentric thinking process that takes into account the importance and relevance of one’s own mind and also recognizes that the same mind has a task in relation to ‘the other’.  Training man’s consciousness in taking ‘the other’ into account can prevent interference. From the first organizing or decompositioning of a complex problem into more manageable parts, the relevance of the possible action later in the thinking process to the thinking of others can be part of the process itself. This should be a segment in the identification of the problem – the determination of why the problem exists and what the consequences would be if no action is taken to solve it. It requires epistemic inclusion in our thinking processes, which contrasts the more pragmatic way of thinking (i.e. bringing ourselves closer to the goal) and enables the agent to uncover information about ‘the other’ that is hidden at first sight.
