Whom and how is to develop the methodology of psychology?

An overview of contemporary issues and controversial issues of development of psychology is presented in the form of two mutual interviews. The context of current discussions is indicated: the tendencies of development of psychology "into the bush" and "into the trunk", pluralism and monism in the approaches, the specificity of the present crisis in psychology. In the "Psychozoic era" the role of psychology is defined. A number of problems necessary to be solved is identified: - the problem of division of psychology into natural, humanitarian and spiritual lines. These lines are not often meet, they are usually developed independently, and therefore a much more serious in a broad sense of this word anthropological synthesis is needed as well as the understanding of psychology as a structural anthropology of the reality. - Rethinking the problem of fundamentals - we are the people of Psychozoic era, and, thus, unique works on the evolution by P. Janet, L.S. Vygotsky, A.N. Leontiev should be reversed in their logic: not the study of the evolution of the psyche (what was done and what was incredibly important), but the study of the psyche (according to the words of the remarkable biologist A.N. Severtsev) as a factor in evolution. - Understanding the problem of psychology as a science of constructing the worlds. It is important to consider the creation as a support for spontaneous lines of development, rather than violence on development. In this sense, it is another, "soft", in the words of V.V. Nalimov, understanding of the ideology of construction - moderate construction, moderate constructivism. - The problem of the world of "the removed forms". Psychology has settled on the world, gave rise to new intentional-subject dimensions: the fields of value and the fields of meaning (A.N. Leontiev, K. Levin, A. Schyuts emphasized this); that we do not interact with the physical world, and always live in the phenomenological world; and that even for the natural sciences all starts with phenomenology, in which the formula "subject and object are inseparable" has the effect; and thus the opposition of subjectivity and objectivity is spread across the surface - it does not exist, and the category of the activity analysis removes the opposition between subject and object if we use the category of activities as a "field" category ". - The problem of the effectiveness of psychology. Psychology as anthropology should become, in the words of A.N. Leontiev, not only a real but also an effective science. And effective science must penetrate modern programs of education, health programs, current program, backed by social practices - psycho-practices, psychotechniques, meaning-techniques. - The problem of the opposition of nomothetic knowledge and idiographic knowledge. - The problem of development of teleological behavioral systems. - Relational problem of studying "the active in acting".
