Wohin steuert die Psychologie?: Ein Ausrichtungsversuch

Die Psychologie sucht nach einer Ordnung im wissenschaftlichen Streben, indem sie zwei Perspektiven betrachtet: die theoretische Psychologie und die Experimentalpsychologie. Der dritte Teil des Buches schlägt vor, den philosophisch-psychologischen Perspektivenpluralismus als Programm zu betrachten, der die Richtungen des Fortschritts kritisch begleitet.

The belief in scientific progress is widespread today. However, what does progress mean? Are we moving towards a better or simply a former time? The distinction lies in our direction. This book addresses the question of how to align the pursuit of scientific knowledge with psychology. Two perspectives are considered: firstly, the philosophy examines the possibility of a theoretical psychology, considering anthropological and scientific foundations. Secondly, experimental psychology explores the potential for developing good theories. The third part of the book proposes a synthesis, advocating for a pluralistic perspective in philosophy and psychology to critically guide the progress of the discipline.
