Summary/Abstract: The society in the 19th century got a science about man that meant the development and progress of the world. This gain brought along a big loss, too: negation of soul, spirit and spiritual life, of the relation with Divinity. It reflected in the moral and value crises of the modern and postmodern man. What else the experimental psychology has lost and what can be recovered by dialogue with the Eastern Christian spirituality are aspects developed in this approach.
