Cultural-Dialogic Interdeterminist Metaperspective for Mental Health and Well-Being

Abstract

The phenomenology of mental health and well-being itself is not homogeneous and static, but heterogeneous and dynamic. In most areas of study now exists a plethora of theories, each with its own concepts, language, and underlying assumptions, but there is a lack of critical comparison, integration, and synthesis in this body of theory, resulting in conceptual clouding and ambiguity. Reflecting the current state of psychological knowledge, we can state the presence in it of an infinite number of local theories and empirical findings, leading to the drowning in the unlimited of disparate fragments, not accompanied by holistic understanding of the psychological phenomenology particularity as the integral reality of human existence that determines its functioning in it. In the framework of the proposed metatheoretical approach, an author's attempt to solve this fundamental problem, which is relevant for psychological knowledge development. Initially stated pluralistic character of modern psychological knowledge and its philosophical and epistemological grounds. Existing crisis debates in the psychological science (replicability, disintegration, empiricism, etc.) is considered in the context of deterministic and indeterministic directions of its development. I propose an interdeterministic alternative in psychological development and its innovative potential. The authors attempt to integrate the variety of existing psychological knowledge in the form of positioning in the heterogeneousmultidimensional-multiparadigm spaces of psychological knowledge in the form of three interconnected four-dimensional continua, allowing to integrate all the existing traditions and approaches
