Abstract

Although there is much that I admire and endorse in Eric Johnson's plea for a more inclusive psychology of the whole human being or person, I think his articulation of his “pluriform” of personhood is insufficiently critical and requires much greater attention to the possibility of incommensurabilities across the various forms he attempts to integrate or, more modestly, include. After I elaborate and illustrate these concerns, I describe the kind of engaged and critical pluralism I think a progressive psychology of personhood will require, and consider two ways in which I believe scientific psychology currently is ill-prepared for such critical engagement.
