Trinitary Approach as a Methodological Principle of Transcendental Psychology Gor YESAYAN
At present, according to many psychologists, the methodology of psychology is in a state of crisis, the reasons for which are quite deep and go beyond psychology. It is be-coming increasingly clear that psychology and the methodol-ogy of psychology, in particular, cannot do without turning to philosophy when tackling its issues, hoping that it is the phil-osophical analysis of the universal laws of nature that will al-low the methodology of psychology to be built on a more fundamental basis. This article is one of such attempts that shows the possibil-ity of applying a trinitarian approach to solve some problems in psychology.To demonstrate the universality of the manifestations of the principleof trinity in nature and cognition, the article, as far as its scopes allow to, provides examples of the manifesta-tion of triads in philosophy, physics, mathematics, anatomy, physiology, and in the psychological concepts of B. Skinner, S. Freud, C.G. Jung, E. Bern and M. Erickson.The possibility of using trinitarity as a methodological principle of psychology is shown in the example of the analy-sis of the mechanisms of the generative process of perception studied in transcendental psychology.
