ABSTRACT
Psychology is the ultimate humanism. Its subject matter is human reality; its investigators are human; its methods are human; the explanations given are human explanations. It is a method of intellective inquiry in which the intellective human goes searching for explanations to its own multifaceted reality. It is a scientific quest that includes the atomic, molecular, chemical, biological, physiological, neurological, and human levels of reality. Jungian psychology is erected upon the fundamental premise of the reality of the psyche—its foundational principle. The crisis in psychology appears when one considers the failure of this science to consider seriously its own first principle—the reality of the intellective human psyche. Dualism was a dominant philosophical assertion in western thought while monism was presumed to be the situation in eastern thought. Body and psyche form one substantive system—the living human reality.
