There has recently been a resurgence of philosophical and scientific interest in the foundations of self-consciousness, with particular focus on its altered, anomalous forms. This paper looks at the altered forms of self-awareness in Depersonalization Disorder (DPD), a condition in which people feel detached from their self, their body and the world (Derealisation). Building upon the phenomenological distinction between reflective and pre-reflective self-consciousness, we argue that DPD may alter the transparency of basic embodied forms of pre-reflective self-consciousness, as well as the capacity to flexibly modulate and switch between the reflective and pre-reflective facets of self-awareness. Empirical evidence will be invoked in support of the idea that impaired processing of bodily signals is characteristic of the condition. We provide first-hand subjective reports describing the experience of self-detachment or fracture between an observing and an observed self. This split is compared with similar self-detachment phenomena reported in certain Buddhist-derived meditative practices. We suggest that these alterations and changes may reveal the underlying and tacit transparency that characterises the embodied and basic pre-reflective forms of self-consciousness, in the same way that a crack in a transparent glass may indicate the presence of an unnoticed window.

窗户破裂时：透明度和人格解体的自我破裂

最近，在自我意识的基础上重新出现了哲学和科学兴趣，特别是关注其改变的异常形式。本文研究了非人格化障碍（DPD）中自我意识的变化形式，在这种情况下，人们感到与自己，自己的身体和世界分离（虚幻）。建立在反思和反思前自我意识之间的现象学区别的基础上，我们认为DPD可能会改变反思前自我意识的基本体现形式的透明度，以及在反思和预见之间灵活调节和切换的能力。自我意识的反思方面。将引用经验证据来支持这样的思想，即身体信号的处理能力受损是这种情况的特征。我们提供第一手主观报告，描述观察者和被观察者之间的自我分离或破裂的经历。将此分裂与某些佛教衍生的冥想实践中报道的类似的自我超脱现象进行了比较。我们建议这些改变和变化可以揭示潜在的和默认的透明性，这些透明性是体现自我意识的体现和基本预反射形式的特征，就像透明玻璃中的裂缝可能表明存在未被注意的窗口一样。
