Abstract

The thousands of years of written and unwritten human history have been marked by a series of continual dissatisfactions with the status quo, a constant effort to change, either through revolution or evolution. Man's continual impatience creates a frustration which is further aggravated by the ever-popular conception of the futility of life: a trout battling its way up- stream, only to perish before ever defining its goal.

These definitions of goal have been the basic concern of social scien- tists long before Socrates planted those seeds of curiosity on the seven hills of Athens, but only recently has consideration been given to defining the conditions in which men must set their objectives, and searching for a concrete tool through which men may examine and settle upon them.

The following is an attempt to outline several relevant contributions regarding these questions in the past, and synthesize these contributions into a new sort of philosophy of the psyche; for future reference, a Psychophilos- ophy.
