Morality is the backbone of the human being, so there is no society that can sustain itself without it.

PSYCOSOPHY

(Dunken, Bs.As. 2004)
The coverage of this book is an oil painting on canvas of the author.

In this backbone of his work, the author exposes the various ways of knowledge towards the transcendent, following a progressive method that finds background in Plato and Kant, who are in turn discussed and analyzed. This essay highlights the novel proposal of a new scheme of human psyche, which attempts to break with the dualist conscious-unconscious standstill. A resemblance with Buddhist topics as far as the need for a universal moral order and a transcendental psychology is still prevalent in the author’s Psychosophy. Therefore, the second part of the Psychosophy and Psychology book deals with three pillars of this discipline: S. Freud, C.G. Jung and E. Fromm, whose wisdom are highlighted and whose limitations when it comes to tackling the spiritual field, especially religion, are brought to our attention.

About the Psychosophy of Ozán Lavoisier, says Juan Adolfo Vázquez, emeritus professor at the University of Pittsburg, U. S. A., in the foreword of this book: “In this work, the author refers to a new science and art –in the technical sense- related to present day psychology, but broader due to its transcendent dimension, and far deeper than psychoanalysis because it unveils layers and levels of understanding unknown by it”, actually, this work “goes beyond scientific, literary, philosophical and religious boundaries”, This “original work, rich in ideas and proposals, deserves to be taken seriously for each individual’s own sake and that of mankind as a whole” “The spiritual experience exposed in the First Part gives way to an unprecedented criticism, as far as I am concerned. As a result, the Second Part is a landmark in the critical history of psychoanalysis, and will most certainly become a classic, not in the academic sense but in that of a masterpiece “, concludes Vázquez.

This work has been translated into French.
