Metabletics, coined by the Dutch phrenologist, Jan van den Berg, is defined as “a theory of how things and events change”, that is to say, how does a practice, a truth regime, a culture, come to be given the convergence of an infinity of other possibilities that could have happened. That said, it has been remarked more often than once that history and systems is irrelevant to the practice of psychology. Moreover, the empiricism touted by psychology has moved it “beyond” both the theory of philosophy and its history in religion. After all, we started as iatros tes psuche, or physicians of soul, about the practice of cura animarum, or care (not cure) of soul. Have we really “moved beyond” religion and philosophy, and, if so, was this a good move?
