The Link between Philosophy and Psychology - Part 3

The evolution of civilized life of a human is correlated with the refinement of his code of ethics. To achieve a psychological homeostasis in a civilized society, we need to implement an objective, universal and standard code of ethics based on and guided by nature and directed by our consciousness.

Individually, man is an integration of body and mind, collectively men are members of a group integrated by their custom. Individually, man manifests seven emotions — anger, contempt, disgust, enjoyment, fear, sadness, surprise — universally noticed among humans. Yet, a group of men organized under a banner of an ideology or a religion will differ in the expression of any of the universal emotions based on different triggers inspired by the ideas adopted and practiced by the members of the group as a collective.

In this episode I linked the third branch of philosophy, ethics, with the third branch of psychology, emotions. Our interpersonal experiences motivate us to articulate the interactions with others from implicitly to explicitly valuable. By working to achieve a normal state of existence we turn negative emotions into positive. When we introspectively focus on ourselves and act justly we provide a selfish satisfaction to our interactive counterparts. Developing our extrospective skills in dealing with reality and other individuals we are motivated to pursue action benefiting all actors in the context of our lives.
