Ontopsychology: psychology as a subject of human life

N.V. Grishina

Reasoning about theoretical crisis in psychology and the need for methodological self-reflection have become a common feature in the works of psychologists. Much has been written about the causes of the theoretical impasse, or at least the lack of theoretical progress. From all what is written or said about it, I would like to remind statements of Moscovici about three aspects of "scientific ideology", which has become an obstacle to the development of science. Firstly, it is "the rule of positivist epistemology", according to which the "facts" are given "by the surrounding reality," and "truly scientific criteria - is an experiment." Secondly, something "like a tacit compromise, when we avoid dealing with issues related to the essence of the law which relates to our discipline, and reduce everything to a process of verification."
