103) Franz Brentano (1874) wrote in the work entitled: "Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint: The Concept and Purpose of Psychology" that there are certain phenomena "which once seemed familiar and obvious and appeared to provide an explanation for things which had been obscure." (Brentano, 1874) These phenomena subsequently are stated to have began to seem "quite mysterious themselves and to arouse astonishment and curiously

The warning was sounded from the entity known as mainstream science which included Newton against metaphysics or the 'old psychology'. (Ladd, 2007) II
Madden (1963) entitled: "The Metaphysics of Self-Consciousness" states that the longest essay of Wright was "The Evolution of Self-Consciousness" appearing in the North American Review of April 1873, which is a monograph that ranges over a "host of intricate philosophical and scientific questions -- sometimes so intricate that John Fiske complained he did not completely understand it after numerous readings." (Madden, 1963) Wright is stated to have written this essay as a response to the urging of Darwin that he "put his analytical powers to work on the problem of determining, in connection with the evolution of language, when a thing can be properly be said to be effected by the will of man
" (2007) Ringland (2009) states in the work entitled: "Toward a Unified Metaphysical Understanding: Consciousness, Self, World, Virtual Reality and Liberation" the proposition that: (1) Consciousness is fundamental and universal; (2) the individual self is not unitary; and (3) the world is not an illusion as in 'unreal' but is an illusion in that it is not as it appears to be. (Ringland, 2009) To clarify this it is reported that many individuals and in fact, millions have "performed the experiment of deep meditation and attained the realization that everyday consciousness is a complex self-propelling system of thoughts, emotions, day-dreams and so on which self organize into a personality, but beneath this there is a level of pure awareness that is often called the watcher or the seer
" (Madden, 1963) Darwin also observed a process of natural selection soon directly his research toward the following two areas: (1) Reactions of the organism and the environs that elicit the reactions; or response; and; (2) stimulus. (Madden, 1963) The work of Frank Visser entitled: "Wilber and Metaphysics" states that Ken Wilber wrote in 1973 that "There is no science of the soul without a metaphysical basis to it…" (2003) Wilber is stated to passionately argue in support of a post-metaphysical spirituality from the perennial philosophy…" (Visser, 2003) Wilber is stated to note the work of Trungpa, as an example of a successful modern day critical approach to metaphysical subjects stating: "For example, we saw that the traditions often conceived the planes of reality as being the terrestrial, the intermediate, the celestial, and the infinite
Psychology indeed appears surprisingly early as one among the other sciences, but for centuries psychology does little more than reflect the presuppositions and conclusions of philosophy." (Wilm and Pinter, 1914, p
" (Heath, 2003) The work of Wozniak (1996) entitled: "Mind and Body: Rene Descartes to William James" states that the formal beginning of experimental psychology is found in the work of Gustav Thodor Fechner (1801-1887) and that prior to Fechner "there was only psychological physiology and philosophical psychology" as it was Fechner "who performed with scientific rigor those first experiments which laid the foundations for the new psychology and still lie at the basis of its methodology." (Wozniak, 1996) In Fechner's work entitled "Nanna' and his work entitled "Zend-Avesta (1851) Fechner is stated to have "sketched out a dual-aspect, monistic, pan-psychical mind/body
2. Psychology - Psychology is defined as a "systematic study of the many ways that human beings are factually involved with each other and their worlds" (James, 1895, p
5) Madison writes that is Book I and E, first philosophy is defined "as the science of being qua being, and as such it ought to be understood as a universal ontology (metaphysica generalis) a study of being in the broadest sense, since being is the most universal of all things." (Madison, 2008, p
The first master being Plato, Aristotle's independent period of thinking identifying first philosophy with theology and the final stage in which Aristotle identified "first philosophy" as a "dialectical science that combines a theological study of the intelligible with Aristotle's hylomorphic doctrine of the nature of the sensible substance." (Wians, 1996, p
Moreover, Avicenna borrows heavily from Ptolemaic astronomy and cosmology composed by Aristotle, entailing nine concentric spheres, one within the other neatly lined in, beginning from the moon to the outermost interstellar space. The spheres are supposedly concentric since they have a common center, deemed as center of earth and universe (Arif 2015)
As a result, it is explained in layman terms using broad parables. Adding along further, he seems troubled by biblical texts refraining from explaining the exact mechanism to spark universe and living life on earth (Brown 2005)

This primary notion of soul is not in plainly found in the works of Augustine of Hippo, but rather its constituents are scattered through his various writings, ranging from polemical, apologetically, philosophical, dogmatical and exegetical works. Adding along further, he even dedicated some treatises on the human soul, but could not lay down the premises of foundational philosophy on it (Connor 1944 )
According to Augustine, memory is not only for recollecting but also for perception and cognition. He states that it is the person's exercise of how the mortal, time bound and imperfect human being enables and recognizes the Truth (Fredriksen n
Furthermore, he ponders the reason as to why God is so impotent in preventing evil so as to maintain the order of the system? Albeit, the undertone of his train of question is indirect as he contemplates persistence and subsistence of evil and impotency of God to free evil from the system on the whole. If he can bring absolute good, then what motive does he have for its persistence? Though he has not put a finger on the problem of evil, the underlying connotation is abundantly clear regarding attributes of God (Inati 2000)
Ibn Sina felt that this notion is not self-confounding at all, since humans can experience such a situation. However, the human entity would still feel his existence (self-awareness) as opposed to requiring diversified experiences to feel the weight of its existence (Journeaux 2012)
Deprivation of good is corruption, in essence. Evil, as a result, has its source in good and unless they act as parasite on good, they cannot exist (Koukl 2002)
