Abstract

In this chapter, the goal of this book is set—how construction of particular methods in the science of psychology is interdependent with general methodology. Seven axioms for psychological science are outlined in the chapter: Axiom 1: All psychological life exists through irreversibility of time. Axiom 2: All human psychological life is mediated by signs. Axiom 3: Signs are constructed, maintained, and demolished as they form dynamic hierarchies. Axiom 4: Signs are constructed by active sign-makers who operate toward goals (intentionality) that are constantly being modified (teleogenesis). Axiom 5: Constructed signs include their contexts (co-genetic logic). Axiom 6: Sign functions constrain the range of possible experiences of the immediate future. Axiom 7: Signs are catalysts.
