El ser literario de la psicología

Abstract

The present work argues that it is possible to trace a literary perspective in psychology, which pays attention to the work of writing of the principal authors of the discipline. This perspective will define the psychology as a reading club; its delimitation does not correspond to a reality field defined beforehand, but for a conjoint of common lectures. The literary tradition concurs with the works that are considered as cardinals for the psychology. In other words, the classics in psychology are so, not because of the actual application of its concepts or theoretical ideas, but because of its literary nature. This literary lecture recognizes the human condition of psychology; it is an ephemeral practice, but in the act of reading it retakes its absolute force and presence.
