CABRAL, Ricardo de Barros. Epistemics coordinates of modern psychology for formation of psychologist. []. , 62, 2, pp.52-64. ISSN 1809-5267.

The present paper exposes the epistemic coordinates in modern Psychology. Situated between Metaphysics and the Mathematical-Physics, it is demonstrated how much this discipline intends to stablish itself beyond a web of philosophical concepts, either rationalist or empirist. Between a classic conception of knowledge and the modern scientific activity, Psychology constitutes itself with a query: how can it attend to the demand of verification while dealing with something that is not physical? In fact, that rupture conduced to a disregardment of the psyche itself in order to privilege the obsertvation of behavior. Due to the stalemates of this radical response the questions return under an alleged "new" paradigm of the Cognitive Sciences, that, in truth, repeat the the old project of reducing this dimension to the Physical, or the Physics, by adopting the Artificial Inteligence as a model. What is intended is to show frailty of these assumptions when confronted by questions of the quotidian themselves, precisely because ignoring them in their own range and extension. It is concluded that the clearness of such coordinates is fundamental in the psychologist formation.
