Abstract

MOURA, Michelle Thieme de Carvalho. A Sartrean look at the special "psi" contemporary. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.3, pp. 767-791. ISSN 1808-4281.

This article discusses how the ideas underlying the expertism "psi" of scientistic reductions,  such as the search for generalizing truth and subsequent objetivation of the  human knowledge, wind up being hegemonic in the ways that we deal with the contingencies of contemporary  life. For this, the author intends to search in the thought of Jean-Paul Sartre elements to understand this phenomenon and also to think about a proposal of psychological knowledge that escape from the formatting of meaning developed by the culture of the expertism. If man can't be reduced to a single appearance, nor a mere universalism, it would be a mistake psychologist to reduce life and human emotions into generalized explanations or subjectivist theories. This "universal-unique" dialetic theory would be seen, therefore, as a rich tool which Sartre can give us in order to review the question of psychological knowledge at the present time.

Keywords : Psychological knowledge; Expertism; Jean-Paul Sartre.
