Abstract

The inquiry aims at the crafting of an understanding about the limit of contemporary psychology through the lens of an idea about a fundamental science of the soul. The development of this science is primordially framed in the metaphysics of antiquity. The understanding of Eric Voegelin regarding a noetic breakthrough of consciousness – which, not by chance, coincides with that same framing, as a deepening of the motive of psyche – grounds the inquiry of a present thinking through of this science of the soul. The latter appears here as a critical background for contemporary psychology. In addition, I consider Voegelin’s metaxy as pointing to that, through which psychology would find a way towards what is inherent in it via its being defined by the named noetic breakthrough. The reaching of this depth by psychology, as its own, I consider as its inner, that is, its structuring limit.
