Abraham H. Maslow discusses the emerging Humanistic Revolution, a philosophical shift that is affecting various fields, including psychology, social institutions, work, leisure, education, science, philosophy, and religion. This revolution emphasizes human needs and experiences, moving away from the abstract and a priori approaches of traditional German intellectualism. Maslow contrasts this with behavioristic and Freudian psychology, which he critiques for their objectivistic and mechanomorphic approaches, respectively. Humanistic psychology, the third force in psychology, focuses on human experience and higher needs, such as love, friendship, dignity, and self-fulfillment. These needs are seen as biologically based and essential to human existence. Maslow argues that fulfilling these higher needs leads to transhumanistic experiences and values, such as truth, goodness, beauty, and excellence. He suggests that these values are not just abstract concepts but can be confirmed or disconfirmed through empirical observation. Maslow also discusses the importance of value-free science, which he believes is a desacralizer, and the need to reintroduce value and spirituality into various aspects of life, including education, religion, and therapy. He advocates for a more holistic and human-centric approach to understanding and improving society, emphasizing the potential for positive change and the realization of human potential. Overall, Maslow's work highlights the potential for a more comprehensive and human-centered approach to understanding and improving human life, suggesting that the future is more promising than it has been in generations.Abraham H.
