ABSTRACT
The idea of the soul’s logical life thus operates with the idea of the objective psyche, with non-ego processes. Adapting an alchemical adage we could say: Psychologia nostra non est pychologia vulgi. Psychology is the study of the self-thinking, self-unfolding, and self-realizing logic of real life. Two distinct aims of movements need to be distinguished. First, there is the aim to form a soulful tradition and constantly renew it. The soul is interested in displaying its inner truths, in other words, in producing “products” as results. The second aim of the soul’s logical life is to overcome itself, to emancipate itself from itself. This is the “alchemical” work of history, which is a history of the development of consciousness. The pulsating life that the later title is about is no longer tied to the human person as substrate. It is self-sufficient, so that psychology has finally come home to itself and is no longer alienated from itself.
