The affection and the reflection. Notably being inspired by the Freudian metapsychology and the Leibnizian philosophy, this article defines that reflexive logics are stimulated by affective dynamics. The first affective dynamic consists in connecting affects to representations using a set of identifications, which constitutes the equivalence logic of the identity principle. The second affective dynamic consists in compensating frustrations by finding sufficient means for sublimating them; this constitutes the inductive logic of the principle of sufficient reason. In other words, reflection is just the linguistic expression of some affects.
