Download or read book Varieties of Psychological Inquiry Volume 1 written by Anab Whitehouse and published by Bilquees Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Varieties of Psychological Inquiry' (Volumes 1 and 2) consists of twenty-five essays (distributed across two volumes) that venture into various facets of psychology - ranging from: Freud. Jung and Sullivan, to: Piaget, Sheldrake, and beyond. Among the topics explored are: Anxiety, dissociation, abuse, charisma, developmental psychology, the 'God gene', SSRIs, memory, chronobiology, neurobiology, consciousness, and holographic theories of mind. While no particular theory of psychology is espoused during the pages of this two volume work, a variety of theoretical and empirical issues are critically explored and reflected upon in considerable detail. In a sense, the direction in which the essays in these two books point is toward epistemological horizons where what is known (possibly) seeks to merge with what is not, yet, known.

Book excerpt: The Nature of Inquiry: Philosophical Reflections on the Scientific Method provides a comprehensive exploration into the fundamental concepts and theories underpinning the philosophy of science. Delving into various disciplines and their respective philosophical frameworks, this book offers readers a deep understanding of the intricacies behind scientific inquiry. Spanning across twenty chapters, this book delves into a wide range of topics, all without using the word "Chapter" in its description. The journey begins with an introduction to the philosophy of science, tracing its evolution and emphasizing its importance in analyzing and understanding scientific endeavors. Readers will then be immersed in the realm of scientific methodology, gaining insights into the processes of inductive and deductive reasoning, hypothesis formation and testing, as well as the crucial role of experimentation and observation in scientific investigations. The exploration continues with an examination of the epistemological foundations of science, probing the longstanding debate between empiricism and rationalism, as well as the contrasting perspectives of realism and anti-realism. The complex notions of objectivity and subjectivity in scientific practices are also unpacked, shedding light on the nuanced nature of scientific knowledge. Delving deeper into the intricacies of scientific inquiry, the book thoroughly examines the theories and models that shape scientific endeavors. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the structure and function of scientific theories, the role of models in scientific investigations, and the critical processes of confirmation and falsification of theories. Continuing the journey, the book explores the nature of scientific progress and revolution, shedding light on Thomas Kuhn's influential theory of scientific revolutions and post-Kuhnian perspectives on scientific progress. These thought-provoking chapters will challenge readers' perspectives on the evolution and transformative power of scientific knowledge. Ethical considerations take center stage in the following chapters, as the book explores the responsible conduct of scientific research, scientific integrity, and the societal and environmental responsibilities of scientists. These chapters foster a deep reflection on the ethical dimensions of scientific inquiry and emphasize the importance of integrity and accountability in the scientific community. The book then delves into various branches of science, including biology, physics, chemistry, psychology, social sciences, medicine, environmental science, mathematics, computer science, neuroscience, cosmology, anthropology, and history. Each chapter offers a philosophical lens through which readers can gain a deeper understanding of the philosophical dimensions and implications of these scientific disciplines. This comprehensive volume culminates with an exploration of the philosophy of history, examining the interpretation, explanation, and objectivity in the historical discipline. Readers will engage with debates surrounding causality, teleology, and biases that shape historical inquiry. In summary, The Nature of Inquiry: Philosophical Reflections on the Scientific Method offers a rich and thought-provoking journey into the philosophy of science and its intersections with various scientific disciplines. Ideal for students, researchers, and anyone intrigued by the philosophical underpinnings of scientific inquiry, this book provides an illuminating exploration that will deepen readers' understanding of the scientific method and its complex philosophical foundations.
Download or read book Terrapsychological Inquiry written by Craig Chalquist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrapsychological Inquiry is a qualitative research methodology seeking a form of inquiry that takes seriously our intense inner responses to the state of the natural world. Terrapsychology is a theory and practice approach that studies, from the standpoint of lived experience, how the world gets into the heart. Oceans and skies, trees and hills, rivers and soils, and even built things like houses, cities, ports, and planes: How do they show up for us inwardly? How do our moods, feelings, and dreams reflect what happens in the world? Terrapsychological Inquiry evolved over a decade of experimentation by graduate students, instructors, workshop leaders and presenters, and other embodied creatives to offer a truly Earth-honoring mode of story-based qualitative inquiry, one that changes all involved from passive spectators of the doings of the world into active, sensitive participants. Learn how to use this methodology of reenchantment in a variety of settings inside and outside academia, and by doing so reenter an animate world. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this introduction to a new research methodology will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental psychology, ecotherapy, and environment and sustainability studies more generally.

Download or read book Another Way of Knowing written by Miller Mair and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miller Mair had a key role in the establishment of Personal Construct Psychology in Britain. He also ran a busy clinical psychology department for more than 20 years. Another Way of Knowing's underlying structure is of an autobiography - one which is both 'intellectual' and 'personal', the two modes inevitably intertwined. His psychotherapeutic thinking grew a long way out from its PCP foundation, though it stayed deeply rooted in it. But Miller's supple and questing sensibility, seemingly there from the start but powerfully validated by George Kelly's work, reached out towards much wider horizons than those of psychology and psychotherapy. There is much in this book, implicitly or explicitly, about politics, science and scientism, spirituality, the arts, the human condition in general. It is also a book about writing the book, and the often anguished struggle Miller had with it.

Download or read book Aristotle on Earlier Greek Psychology written by Jason W. Carter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first in English to provide a full, systematic investigation into Aristotle's criticisms of earlier Greek theories of the soul from the perspective of his theory of scientific explanation. Some interpreters of the De Anima have seen Aristotle's criticisms of Presocratic, Platonic, and other views about the soul as unfair or dialectical, but Jason W. Carter argues that Aristotle's criticisms are in fact a justified attempt to test the adequacy of earlier theories in terms of the theory of scientific knowledge he advances in the Posterior Analytics. Carter proposes a new interpretation of Aristotle's confrontations with earlier psychology, showing how his reception of other Greek philosophers shaped his own hylomorphic psychology and led him to adopt a novel dualist theory of the soul–body relation. His book will be important for students and scholars of Aristotle, ancient Greek psychology, and the history of the mind–body problem.

Download or read book On Hijacking Science written by Edwin E. Gantt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the origins, presence, and implications of scientistic thinking in psychology. Scientism embodies the claim that only knowledge attained by means of natural scientific methods counts as valid and valuable. This perspective increasingly dominates thinking and practice in psychology and is seldom acknowledged as anything other than standard scientific practice. This book seeks to make this intellectual movement explicit and to detail the very real limits in both role and reach of science in psychology. The critical chapters in this volume present an alternative perspective to the scholarly mainstreams of the discipline and will be of value to scholars and students interested in the scientific status and the philosophical bases of psychology as a discipline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999. The author writing in 1923, starts with the assumption that conduct originates in the actor himself, and tries to discover what intelligent conduct may mean if we follow this assumption to its limits. He then sets about to harmonize three schools of thought about human nature which have the appearance of being irreconcilably disparate. Stated in a nutshell, his message is that “psychology starts with the unrest of the inner self, and it completes its discovery in the contentment of the inner self”.
