Abstract

Phenomenology is an approach to study that investigates the subjective experience of phenomena, including religiosity and spirituality (R/S).In psychology, phenomenology seeks to understand how religiosity and spirituality manifest themselves in individual consciousness, exploring religious and spiritual experiences, how they are lived and interpreted by the individual; how the psychological subject is formed and relates to the world, because it goes beyond the idea of the biological individual, considering the influence of mental processes, subjectivity, culture and social interactions in the formation of identity and behavior.In these contexts, we present the Psychology of Apokálypsis and Phenomenological Psychology as they relate to the psyche and the subject's visual cortex.
