What is the Purpose of Reflection?

Dewey (1933) stated "reflection thus implies that something is believed in (or disbelieved in), not on its own direct account, but through something else which stands as witness, evidence, proof, voucher, warrant; that is, as ground of belief." (p.11). For Dewey, reflective thinking consisted of two parts: a state of doubt and a search to resolve that doubt.
