Universe and Mirror

Perhaps anticipating Gestalt theory, according to which one constructs one's perceptual field, Kant's Copernican Revolution inverts Leibniz' thesis that one is a "mirror of the universe".  Bergson and Heidegger each develop the concept of one's world as a reflection of one in a Practical direction, i. e. one's world is "ready-to-hand", as the latter puts it, suggesting that Perception, and, hence, its objects, is conditioned by Action.  But, perhaps the most conclusive inversion of Leibniz' formulation is implicit in Hegel's concept of Recognition, in which one recognizes oneself in the accomplishments of one's Labor, a concept which very likely influences Marx.  For, any modification of one's environment is a mirror of one, and one is surrounded by such modifications in the most mundane ways.
