Scientificity of Psychology in the Context of Science Philosophy

Abstract

Meaningfulness for the mind is being able to think, live and fight for the higher values that it knows and adopts. When the meanings we create are not produced enough, they turn into a burden over time. The only thing we can be sure of by looking at scientific advances is that we are past the point of error more and more. In this way, we hope that we have gradually reduced our old ignorance and, therefore, come closer to the truth. But knowing this does not give us any information about how far we are from reality. For much of psychology, practice is more theoretical or systematic, and psychology is public rather than private. Today’s psychology studies the human being, which we define as a social being. Much of the origins of scientific psychology are in everyday life and emerged from knowledge of such things as temperament, children’s resemblance to their parents, and the expression of emotions. It is because psychology that claims to be scientific has often progressed through practice rather than research in the name of research. In this study, the formation of modern psychology in the context of philosophy of knowledge has been taken with a critical eye.
