Spiritualist psychology

Mehr zum Buch

Spiritualist psychology, founded by Théodore Jouffroy, explores the concept of a free intelligence that influences human will, emphasizing the spirit's quest for purpose through observation and reason. Jouffroy asserts that this process leads to absolute knowledge, encompassing truth, beauty, and moral goodness. Influenced by Victor Cousin, Jouffroy faced criticism from contemporaries like Auguste Comte. However, Louis Bautain, also a student of Cousin, supports the idea that the spiritual realm operates under laws akin to those governing the material world.
