A Genuinely Scientific Psychology based on Lonerganâ??s Analysis of Consciousness

Daniel A. Helminiak

Since its inception, modern psychology has struggled to be a genuine science. The impressive natural sciences set the standard; and especially in the era of behaviorism, psychology tried to match them. But things human are much more subtle, complicated, variable, even mysterious, compared to physics and chemistry. Besides, an even greater challenge looms: Psychology also suffers from the pervasive postmodern dilemma: creeping skepticism and cultural relativism. They now not only befog academia but also fragment and confound our communities, nations, and world. With “false news” and “alternative facts,” the problem has become popular, not just academic. There exists no consensus on the meaning of truth and goodness or on the means to know them. Bernard Lonergan offers a solution to these challenges.
