Impure reflection constitutes the reflected-on as an in-itself it must become.

Evidence

Here we must distinguish between pure reflection and impure or constituent reflection, for it is impure reflection which constitutes the succession of psychic facts or psyche. What is given first in daily life is impure or constituent reflection although this includes pure reflection as its original structure. But pure reflection can be attained only as the result of a modification which it effects on itself and which is in the form of a katharsis. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 526 (#expands, via linked claim)
