Abstract
2025，後人類的世界，值此，物已反撲，人已退位，
2015 始，近十年，吾離自體心理學，車行逕往，自體的心理學而去。
自體的心理學，非精神分析所能囿，必與存有哲學，以至哲學相遇。
此哲學，生命哲學也，涵形上學 （包括宇宙論，本體論），知識論，倫理學，和美學。
宇宙論：諾大宇宙 （JWST 近期發現，宇宙尚且非ㄧ），物只占其，百分之四，餘為暗物質，和暗能量。意思是說，物，以至，生命的發生，實為難得，中的難得。
本體論：存有誠然可貴，莫耽溺于存有，生成大于存有，生成就是存有。
知識論：西哲，以二元論取勝，造作二千年，以至今日，人類世廢墟，其來有自。非二元論，主客有感，主客皆泯，印哲中哲傳統，吠檀多不二論，禪宗行徑，遂為後二元論，指點迷津。
倫理學：宏大敘事，無恥戲論爾，倫理殘局，遂僅存，陌生人的善意。
美學：生命理應，有趣酣暢，唯一之途，乃行動藝術，
以上，歸于，不捨此，詐（乍）現之身，所作已辦，為而不有，遂返于塵，歸于塵。
烏蠅蜜蜂水牛岩中花樹草木瓦石，遂皆莫非我。
至此，物遂歸位，人遂復位。
遂，回到船子的江水。

Philosophy of the Psychology of the Self

Abstract
In 2025, in a post-human world—
at a moment when things have struck back
and the human has stepped down—
Since 2015, for nearly a decade,
I have drifted away from classical Self Psychology,
traveling by way of the road
toward what I now call the Psychology of the Self.
The Psychology of the Self cannot be confined by psychoanalysis.
It must encounter the philosophy of being—indeed, philosophy itself.
This philosophy is a philosophy of life,
embracing metaphysics (including cosmology and ontology),
epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics.
Cosmology
In the vast cosmos—
where JWST recently revealed that even “the universe” is not one—
matter constitutes merely four percent.
The rest is dark matter and dark energy.
This means:
the emergence of matter, and thus of life,
is the rarest among the rare.
Ontology
Being is precious indeed.
But one must not cling to being.
Becoming exceeds being.
Becoming is being.
Epistemology
Western philosophy triumphed by means of dualism—
constructing it for two thousand years,
until the ruins of today’s Anthropocene are its inevitable outcome.
Non-dual epistemologies—
subject and object sensing each other,
subject and object dissolving—
found in the Indian and Chinese traditions,
in Advaita Vedanta
and in the paths of Zen—
have become the post-dualist guidance
for those seeking a way out.
Ethics
The grand narratives have collapsed into shameless rhetoric.
All that remains in the wreckage of ethics
is the kindness of strangers.
Aesthetics
Life ought to be interesting and exuberant.
The only path is the art of action—
life performed, lived, enacted.
All of the above returns to this:
Do not abandon this briefly-appearing body.
Do what must be done.
Act without possession.
Return to dust,
and rest in dust.
Flies, bees, water buffaloes,
flowers in rocks, grass, trees, tiles, and stones—
all of them, none are not me.
Thus:
things return to their place,
and the human returns to their place.
And so, we return
to Boatman Dèchéng’s river.
If you’d like, I can also prepare:
- a scholarly version (for journal submission)
- a poetic version (in the style of Bashō + Levinas + Simondon)
- a seminar-ready version for your 自體的心理學 (2025) course
- a shortened abstract
Just let me know.
