This book presents a new structural approach to the psychology of
the person, inspired by Kenneth Colby's computer-generated
simulation, PARRY. The simulation was of a paranoid psychological
state, represented in forms of the person's logic and syntax, as
these would be evidenced in personal communication. Harwood Fisher
uses a Structural View to highlight similarities in the logical
form of the linguistic representations of Donald Trump, his avid
followers ("Trumpers"), and the paranoid-referred to as "The Trio."
He demonstrates how the Structural View forms a series of logical
and schematic patterns, similar to the way that content analysis
can bring forth associations meanings, and concepts held in the
text. Such comparisons, Fisher argues, can be used to shed light on
contingencies for presenting, representing, and judging truth.
Specifically, Fisher posits that the major syntactic and logical
patterns that were used to produce the computer-generated
"paranoid" responses in Colby's project can be used to analyze
Donald Trump's rhetoric and his followers' reactions to it.
Ultimately, Fisher offers a new kind of structural approach for the
philosophy of psychology. This novel work will appeal to students
and scholars of social and cognitive psychology, psychology of
personality, psychiatric classification, psycholinguistics,
rhetoric, and computer science.
