ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book spells out a theoretical position regarding psychological language in general. It explores in more detail the implications of this for everyday psychological language and the language of Psychology, the discipline. The book outlines the implications for human psychological evolution. These are among the most fundamental consequences of the physiomorphic theory, since it will be shown that these carry beyond the purely linguistic realm to the nature of human learning itself. The book also spells out the overall picture of the current human situation which emerges from this. This may seem a grandiose aim, but one justification for academic work of this kind at the present historical juncture is that it sheds some light in this direction, or at least tries to.
