Abstract

The purposes of this study were to advocate the impersonal perspective as a scientific method to describe spirituality, and according to such perspective, to model the integral positivity derived from Ozaki's theory of three factor spirituality within the context of empirical science. First, we overviewed the philosophical discussions on researchers' unconscious perspectives and modeled impersonal science as a meta-method to overcome the conflicts among the various methodology such as behavioral and narrative approaches. Second, we organized the purposes, the objectives, the strengths, and the limitations of the psychological methods from the perspective of the first, the second, the third, and the impersonal. Third, we described integral positivity from the model of three factor spirituality on the perspective of impersonal which integrated the subjective and objective perspectives. Through the process above, we showed the meta-method, impersonal perspective, which made the selection of a suitable method from various ones freely depending on the purposes of the studies possible. We also showed the possibility to describe spirituality and transcendence within the frame of empirical science such as positive psychology by using the new method, impersonal science.
