suggested by recent mail discussion.
dates back to the initial import, must be copied from dicts.
I think "to engage in introspection" is terrible English, and the whole thing is rather off.
反省 is smth you essentially do when you have been in the wrong.

Editor: Agree with comments about "engage in introspection".
That phrase appears in various "sources", including FLTRP, nciku's Comprehensive Chinese-English Dictionary, and ABC.
Our whole definition "to engage in introspection; soul-searching" is, in fact, identical to ABC's.
Diff:
- 反省 反省 [fan3 xing3] /to engage in introspection/soul-searching/
+ 反省 反省 [fan3 xing3] /to reflect upon oneself/to examine one's conscience/to question oneself/to search one's soul/
