Psychology
Over the past three decades MSS has been working on a new model of personality derived from Sri Aurobindo’s view of human development. The model takes into account both superficial and deeper layers of behavior, character, culture and individuality as well as differences in individual capacity for accomplishment. Case studies include application of the model to characters in Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice and other literary works.
