Original Story: Birth of psychology
As often happens with important topics, call these: science, pseudo science, science fiction or, even, the misunderstood, a great extension of forms and depths is dedicated to explain to those who seek to understand their reason for study. And, on the last of my lines, my friends of Steemit, I want to wield a little: "about the misunderstood."
Pearl of great price
Now, they will ask themselves, How is it that misunderstood? It is not a Science fully accepted in the highest strata between scholars and practitioners of the same thing that you want to show. Well, maybe now it is. But it was not always like this. And without further subterfuge, the subject that concerns us is science, art, discipline; as you want to conceive it.
You are right. Being already, fully understood that Psychology is, words more, words less: * the discipline that is in charge of the study of the human mind; and from there all that implies the behavior of man in the integrality of his existence *, is for me a pearl of great price, that which from its beginnings intends to enter deep into the sea of the thought of the most beautiful creature that has been created. As defined by its own Maker "the crown of creation." So divinely perfect, and at the same time, so strangely erratic in its modus vivendi, way of believing, thinking, reacting, of existing.
It is without a doubt, the pearl of incalculable value this science. Because without detriment to specific sciences, such as: medicine; which also seeks the welfare of humanity, is oriented to the tangible part that comprises the human being.
More, the Psychology, tries to enter the waters of the intangible: the mind, the psyche, the reason, or lack of it. In short, what value more precious than the discipline that seeks to explain, and sometimes without finding it is determined to compensate the damage of the sweetest that human life understands, its intellect, what we can not touch, and sometimes moans much stronger than a toothache.
Blessed be the moment you were found, oh pearl of great price!
And here we go, after a worthy apology, to you, oh precious pearl! You were since the world is a world in the ocean of ideas. If we talk about you being a "pearl", and we know that these showy spheres are nourished by the nacre of a mother oyster, we could well affirm, that in the shell of philosophy was where such an enormous treasure was created. Yes. It was in the classrooms of philosophical thought that the protagonist of our beautiful narrative began to be molded.
Well, when Aristotle ventured to think about you, he imagined that it might be possible to assume that there was a way to bring to the real world all that had been abstract, without form. Back in the fourth century, you went back in your first adventure that revealed the interesting aspects of soul perception. That pearl of great price was conceived by involving each sense. Admiring the beautiful through all: sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste, to enjoy your splendor, to discover you in the depths from where you were taken.
And there, another great observer, Descartes, thought that if you existed, it was worth going for you wherever you were. And he found you in the depths of the idea "I think, therefore I am". There you were, God gave you of his infinity so that through your shine it could be more precise to arrive at the intangible of his star creation: the human soul. The old world admired you, beginning to understand you with an associative idea. The more experiences you had around you, the more resources there were to understand you. What a pleasure it was to venture into the ingenuity and understanding of such a precious treasure "pearl, of great value"!
Such was the admiration that around you were forged characters like Kant, Hamilton and Herbert, which made that day after day was left thinking of you with more zeal and your beauty was polished more and more. Oh Pearl of great Courage; incessant your search even on a daily basis unfolds to understand the human soul the rudiments, the sorrows, the joys! Blessed is the story that attracts you to the understanding of all this.
Without a doubt, I like to think that I can understand you through intuition. And although it is not so easy to understand what thoughts tend to mean for sure, with various methods I am trying to know how to apply all your wisdom. My value is becoming more and more fascinating to you.
I know very well that you can not be standardized or locked in simple paradigms. What is more understandable is that you are a perfect harmony between your mother oyster (philosophy) and your select environment (physiology). But, much of what has been tried to understand your value is falling into disuse and you eventually become more valuable. As valuable what you adorn, what you illuminate with your radiance: "The Human soul".
