Resum

Positive Psychology is based on a particular model of the individual that was developed in the popular culture of the United States from the end of the eighteen century. This model, that we have called �positive� individualism, started with Emerson´s Trascendentalism by defending, against puritanism, that the individual, as a part of Divinity, is an essence capable of self-command, self-exploration and endless self-development. On this basis, but in a more �practical� vein and supported by hundreds of self-help manuals, movements like the New Thought or the Positive Thought emphasized the power of individual´s thinking over the matter and the world to mentally cure illness, to attract wealth and achievement, and to self-fulfill the promise of happiness. A critical examination and an alternative to this model of individuality was already offered by genuine american academic psychology, such as John Dewey´s, based upon functionalist psychology and anti-essentialist principles and guided by an alternative political agenda. Current Positive Psychology moves away from the most striking metaphysics of �positive� individualism, but maintains its ahistorical, asocial and subjectivist conception of the individual
