Abstract
Abstract This article outlines a distinction between Aristotelian and Galileian modes of thought as they might be observed in psychology. In turn, personal construct theory is considered for its alignment with the Galileian mode of thought, and this alignment is suggested to be a valuable buttress against criticism of psychology for its manner of regarding and treating the person. This stance toward the person stems significantly from a tenacious positivist-empiricist perspective that aligns generally with the Aristotelian mode of thought. Present efforts at self-reflection apparent within psychology might be assisted by reviewing the distinction and by the discussion of personal construct theory as one Galileian mode in the discipline
