Abstract

 IInterlacing self-knowledge with psychology means to land in the serene and deep analysis on the path traveled by psychology, from its start to the present time, and return to the original objective of study: the human soul. This study places inexorably in the very essence of philosophy, where psychology develops, forms and originates. Only from philosophy and the inclusion of psychology in the field of human sciences, the strengths and weaknesses reached by contemporary psychology, as well as the abandonment of its
 original object of study, in its will to be recognized as a science, are understood.
 This fact places psychology in an extremely favorable position to travel, more than any other science, within the subjective and objective aspects of human nature, in relation to what Socrates studied and his thought extracted from the Delphi temple: Know thyself and you will know the others. This article proposes a new scientific vision, from the frame of a renewed philosophical psychology, encouraged to take the quantum leap from science to metascience, resulting in the task of concretizing the conquest of selfknowledge: a meeting point between the physical and metaphysical nature of human beings.
