self-distance Explanation: Wiktionary definition: Noun. self-distance (usually uncountable, plural self-distances) The ability to critically reflect on oneself and one's relations from an external perspective. Ironic humor is an instance of the more general phenomenon of self-distance (Contemporary Philosophy of Social Science, By Brian Faypage, Page 33) I rather suspect that the Swedish självdistans originated as a direct translation of English self-distance |
