The Problem of Psychology
- Psychology lacks a unified ontological referent, unlike other sciences.
- This makes it a "soft science" with competing schools of thought.
Psychology's Fundamental Role
- Psychology is fundamental to all knowledge because it bridges subjective, social, and scientific understanding.
- This addresses the "enlightenment gap" by placing mind and matter in right relation.
Defining Mind
- Mind is not singular but encompasses multiple aspects: neurocognitive activity (Mind 1), subjective experience (Mind 2), and self-conscious reflection (Mind 3).
- These distinctions clarify different levels of awareness and mental processes.
