Abstract
VENEBRA MUNOZ, Marcela. Elements for a new interpretation of the critique to psychologism. Rev. NUFEN [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.2, pp.77-97. ISSN 2175-2591.
In the following pages, my intention is establishing a link between the historical motives of the critique to psychologism and the vital motivations of the Socratic critique to sophistic. My interest here is to explore the meeting ground of Platonic and Husserlian philosophies, that is, the reformation of a theory of knowledge -of rationality and truth- over which life itself may be oriented. In the first section, I will describe the historical relations -or critical links- between sophistic and psychologism, in order to develop its concordant elements in the second section, emphasizing the vital motivation behind an idea or project of rational reformation -or philosophical rationality. In the third section I will discuss further the concordant elements or historical motivations -Platonic in its origins- that are reactivated by the Husserlian critique. Finally, I will briefly explore the theme of pure self identity and the pshychological self (mundane), through its relation with an idea of union between philosophy and life. The final aim of this text is to determine some of the elements that may allow us a reading of the critique to psychologism through its historical motivations, those belonging to the history of thought, or the idea of a philosophically constructed rationality
