Meanings
-
(uncountable) philosophical phenomenon described as the dislocation of the axis of the theoretical construction of a thinker and the axis of his lived experience; discrepancy between theory and experience
One of the most obvious manifestations of (cognitive) parallax may be observed when the very fact of an individual saying or writing something proves the falseness of what he says or writes (...) note that (cognitive) parallax cannot be mistaken in any way for lies, hypocrisy, or conscious dissimulation.
