Epistemological Break in Single-Session Practice: Overcoming Doxa and Agnotology via Plato's Chariot Allegory in Opsuimology Korotkov
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article presents an authorial methodology of brief consultative intervention (Single-Session Therapy / SST within the Opsuimological paradigm), ensuring a stable therapeutic outcome in a single consultation followed by an autonomous home protocol. The concept is based on a philosophical-phylogenetic synthesis of classical epistemology (Doxa, Episteme, Agnotology), the triune brain model, and D. Kahneman’s dual-system cognitive theory. The author details the mechanism of "Double Ignorance"—a pathological coupling of affective noise (EQ / System 1) and defensive-stereotypical survival patterns (RQ / Doxa). The metaphor of Plato's Chariot is analyzed with reference to modern neurocognition using canonical Stephanus pagination. It is demonstrated that transferring the client from a state of cognitive impasse to metacognitive autonomy is achieved through the forced activation of the consultant’s "Professor" stance (IQ / Episteme / System 2). Keywords: opsuimology, Doxa, Episteme, Agnotology, Single-Session Therapy (SST), dual-process theory, triune brain, Plato, Chariot Allegory, Stephanus pagination, Korotkov S. V.
