| Summary: | Applying Bernard J. F. Lonergan's analysis of human consciousness or spirit, this article presents an interlocking set of distinctions that specifies spirituality as a normative or prescriptive discipline on the boundary between theology and psychology and different from psychology of religion as generally conceived. Central to the argument is an array of analytic viewpoints, within which the human can be studied, and a tripartite model of the human that represents spirit, and so spirituality, as inherent to humanity as such. It is argued that the study of spirituality so conceived meets demanding criteria that qualify it as science, a specialization within psychology. |
