Abstract

In the first part of their work, the Authors substantiated the strong similarities between Kelly’s personal construct theory and phenomenology, notwithstanding the rejection of the latter from the American psychologist. In this second article the Authors go so far as to uphold the thesis that Kellyan theory even represents an example of the realization of the Husserlian project of a rigorous science of experience, alternative to the naturalistic one. After having briefly expounded the new idea of objectivity described by Husserl, Kelly’s theory is presented as world of the general forms deriving from experience, which take shape as structural invariants in Kelly’s enunciation of professional constructs.
