Philosophical and Empirical Approaches to Psychology: Mentalism vs.
Anti-Mentalism philosophically analyzes four different approaches
to psychology: introspectionism, behaviourism, cognitive
psychology, and cognitive neuroscience to explore the concept of
"the mind," which developed from the late nineteenth and early
twentieth century up through present day psychology. The resulting
ideas originating from these approaches are divided into two main
groups in this book, mentalism (whose supporters assume that mind
is not reducible to something else) and anti-mentalism (whose
supporters assume that mind is indeed reducible to something else).
This book argues that adopting one idea over another can have a
profound influence in a psychologist's research. Further, the
author shows that some controversial psychological notions like
"consciousness" pertain to a particular mentalistic approach. Many
psychologists do not consider such notions scientific, but he
argues that this depends upon their adherence to a certain
anti-mentalistic approach or to a specific mentalistic perspective.
The book examines these issues by assessing experimental psychology
in relation to neurobiology and philosophy, offering an integration
of philosophical and theoretical chapters along with empirical and
experimental chapters. Theoretically, the arguments draw from
philosophy of psychology and experimental psychology. Using
empirical research, Philosophical and Empirical Approaches to
Psychology examines the role of the various mentalistic and
anti-mentalistic approaches to psychology by integrating
epistemological analysis and empirical research.
