 The main point that Fechner makes about these standpoints is that their appearances belong to one and the same thing. There are not two distinct entities, a mind corresponding to internal appearances and a body corresponding to external appearances; rather, there is one and the same thing that appears inwardly to myself and outwardly to others. “Inwardly it appears to itself thus; and outwardly it appears thus; but what appears is one and the same” (ZA: 253). Hence Fechner’s theory has been described as a “two aspect theory” of the self.
