After coining the term “philopsychy” to describe a “soul-loving” approach to philosophical practice, especially when it welcomes a creative synthesis of philosophy and psychology, this article identifies a system of geometrical figures (or “maps”) that can be used to stimulate reflection on various types of perspectival differences. The maps are part of the author’s previously established mapping methodology, known as the Geometry of Logic. As an illustration of how philosophy can influence the development of psychology, Immanuel Kant’s table of twelve categories and Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types are shown to share a common logical structure. Just as Kant proposes four basic categories, each expressed in terms of three subordinate categories, Jung proposes four basic personality functions, each having three possible manifestations. The concluding section presents four scenarios illustrating how such maps can be used in philosophical counseling sessions to stimulate philopsychic insight. 1. Philopsychy and Map-Making as Tools for Shaping Perspectives Contemporary philosophy and psychology share a common heritage. Both stem from the older discipline of classical (pre-Kantian) philosophy. Whereas classical philosophy included psychology and was motivated by a life-long search for self-knowledge (as epitomized by the maxim, ‘Know thyself’), nowadays philosophy and psychology are generally regarded as distinct disciplines, often having very limited aims, such as the objective study of language and behavior, respectively. Such attempts to render philosophy and psychology scientific are laudable and worthy of pursuit, as long as practitioners do not regard their approach as excluding a more subjective approach that focuses on practical applications—an exclusion all too often recommended by prominent members of both disciplines. The past two centuries have witnessed an important, and I believe inevitable, rupturing of philosophy, with the fragments producing numerous new sciences, such as analytic philosophy and behavioural psychology. Fruitful as these approaches may be, we must not allow them to eclipse the classical understanding of
