WORLD – CONSCIOUSNESS – CONSCIENCE Ontology of Intelligence and Integrative Psychology of the Human Being

This paper explores the interrelationship of the concepts World, Consciousness, and Conscience, starting from the assumption that they do not represent separate domains of human experience, but rather three layers of the same reality connected by the action of intelligence as an ontological force of creation. Through linguistic analysis in the spirit of the Serbian language, phenomenological reduction, and a comparative overview of key philosophical and psychological traditions, the paper offers a model in which the World is understood as a comprehensive whole of the physical and the metaphysical, Consciousness as an intelligent space of information, and Conscience as a secondary regulatory mechanism based on authority and memory. The paper shows that the contemporary crisis of meaning and ethical confusion are not a consequence of a lack of conscience, but of a loss of consciousness as the primary state of being. A particular contribution of the paper is the introduction of the concept of ontological intelligence, which transcends the Cartesian dualism and offers a foundation for a new psychological paradigm based on an expanded perception of the whole.
