Abstract

The growth of various schools of Western Psychology, beginning in the late nineteenth century, can be encapsulated in the operation of binaries. Western cosmology essentially operates in binaries, captured and described in seven theorems in the chapter. The schools, therefore, are intimately tied to the epistemology and cosmology that they have followed. A different cosmology, with a different epistemology, that focusses on the transcendence of binaries, leads to the emergence of a different psychology, for instance the various schools of Indian Psychology. Western Psychology â just like Indian psychology â is cosmology-and-epistemology dependent. If this aspect is not accounted for, Western Psychology becomes culture blind; it is not able to see beyond itself and its own cosmology and epistemology. When it makes itself â its cosmology and epistemology â as universal, it becomes ethnocentric, developing blindless towards other cultures and their accomplishments in the world of psychology. It consciously or unconsciously believes only what gets generated in the western hemisphere is psychology and rest all psychological theories from around the world can be accommodated for in the name of Cultural Psychology or Cross-Cultural psychology â where both the Cultural as well as Cross-Cultural psychologies have an ancillary status to psychology, which is western and normative.
