HRThe philosophy of psychology is a relatively new field of inquiry inphilosophy and so the question of what the philosophy of psychologyis remains an open question. In this course, we will understand thephilosophy of psychology in two ways. First, it is the study of thenature of psychology and the various capacities and mechanismsthat make cognition possible. We will consider whether there is aunique psychological level of explanation or whether psychologyultimately reduces to the brain. We will also explore various philosophicalpuzzles raised by consideration of psychological abilities like memory,attention, and emotion. Second, philosophy of psychology is a subfieldof philosophy of science, where we examine a particular science-here,experimental psychology-as a way to explore broader questions aboutwhat science is, how science explains phenomena, and how valuesintersect with its investigations. All of this makes it an exciting time tostudy the philosophy of psychology-as students in this course, student'sinterests will play a role in selecting topics and shaping the direction of ourinquiry.
