A psicologia teórica na fenomenologia de Husserl

Abstract

This study examines the fundamental concepts in Edmund Husserl's work that enable the construction of Theoretical Psychology as a field of investigation and foundation for Scientific Psychology. The central hypotheses are: 1) Phenomenology developed as a response to the elevation of Psychology from a philosophical to a scientific discipline; and 2) Phenomenology can largely be understood as Theoretical Psychology, both in its ontological and methodological dimensions. The study contextualizes the emergence of Phenomenology in the late 19th century, during the institutionalization of Psychology in German universities, and analyzes key aspects of Phenomenological Psychology in Husserl's work and its epistemological implications for the foundation of Scientific Psychology. Finally, practical possibilities for developing a Theoretical Psychology based on Husserlian Phenomenology are described. It concludes that Phenomenology provides a conceptual foundation for Psychology, while acknowledging that not all of Phenomenology is reducible to Psychology, due to its eidetic-transcendental nature.
