The purpose of this article is to emphasize the implicit subjectivity in the concept of coherence, as a condition of performing science. This holds true for both conventional science, based on measurement and mathematics, and for conscientiology, founded on the consciousness’ integrated way of thinking, feeling and acting, using the premise that a reality is constructed in the interaction with the subject. The article then presents coherence as a compound attribute didactically composed of three aspects: extra-consciential, perceived in the relationship between external things; intraconsciential, guiding the consciential manifestation as an expression of personal interiority; interconsciential, manifested in consciential interrelationships. It also proposes the disbelief principle – founded in selfexperimentation –, the essential directive for the cognitive subject’s self and hetero-perception, grounded in rationality, logicity, learnability, reliability, technicality and authenticity, determinants of the meaning of coherence. * Article originally published in 2013 by the journal Interparadigmas, vol 1, No. 1, p. 41-54 (https://www.interparadigmas.org.br/?page_id=7).
