first reflection

A Human Being as the Twofold Entety of the Psychological and Ontological Dimensions (Review of the Monograph: Petrushenko, V. (2020). Psychological Ontology. Experience of the Construction of Non-traditional Ontology. Lviv: “the New World-2000”)

      The review is devoted to the analysis of features of a theoretical construction which Victor Petrushenko calls as “psychological ontology”. The review emphasizes the original explanation of the structure of the psychological picture of the human world and its components – forms of empirical knowledge (feelings, perceptions and representations). The author of the monograph analyzes the dynamic interaction of thinking, or the second reflection, with the psychics (the first reflection), as a result of which we distinguish between being and non-being.
