Descartes’ Meditations is an exceptional work not because it lays downs the groundwork for any particular truth or even because it contains any immutable truth. Its worth lies in the fact that it was the first time a single person had formulated a single system of philosophy from which to derive all other thoughts from – he laid the groundwork for people to think and investigate on their own. In other words, he laid the foundations for the Enlightenment and the liberation of Europe from the myths and superstitions of the Middle Ages. One of the most fascinating sections in Continue reading...

Descartes, along with Spinoza, are the two philosophers to blame for our split understanding of the ‘self’. Although, it can be argued that this ‘split’ has indirectly led to innumerable developments in various fields ranging from science and technology to art and culture, the original Cartesian notion of the body is, to a twenty-first century eye, more than a little problematic. One of his clearest elucidations of what the body half of this split being is found in the Sixth book of his Meditations. It shows how (according to Descartes) the mind and body are separate Continue reading...

Theory of mind is the ability to understand that other people could believe something that is not true regarding beliefs, knowledge, and desires. An absence of the capacity to form second-order representations would lead not only to a lack of theory of mind and the concomitant social ineptness, but also to a lack of pretend play (Baron-Cohen, Leslie & Frith, 1985). Theory of mind is normally begins to develop in children from three years of age and matures, as they get older. However, some children, three years of age or younger, have well developed implicit understanding of false belief (Bjorklund & Continue reading...

Introduction

Up until the early years of the preceding century, the development of the extent of psychometrics did not begin. The word ‘psycho’ means mind and the word ‘metric’ means measure. Thus, psychometric means the measurement of the mind or intelligence (Cutt et.al., 2007). Visibly, it is simple to measure the strength, weight, and height of an individual. These are the observable and physical characteristics that could be measured accurately. But the characteristics such as personality, abilities, attitude and intelligence are hard to define and to determine. One way to determine these characteristics is through the use of psychometric test Continue reading...

Self – Justification
Self Justification is the result of one’s own belief
A self justification happens when the mind starts excusing with excessive reasons of one’s own actions, words or deeds when others do not accept the wrong in it. It primarily is the result of one’s own belief with conviction that the self is always right and correct. The brain which works hard to make us think we are always right prompts us to justify. At no point, the self willfully accepts the wrong to repent. It blames the circumstance, situation Continue reading...

The concepts of self and grave affect us all. We encountered these two terms many times in our lives, but perhaps we have never really pondered upon their meanings. These two concepts may seem disconnected at first. But a deeper analogy will show us that they are interrelated; in fact, one concept cannot exist without the other. Just like one of Yi-Fu Tuan’s major points in his book entitled, “Space and Place”, the concept of self and grave and interdependent as the concepts of space and place are – each concept gives meaning to the other. It is the Continue reading...

Ethics of imperturbability

The ancient Indians and Greeks placed in high regard ethical systems. For instance, the Greeks held that the state of mind complements the nature of an action to have ethical significance. A Jain considered it murder as ethically negative whether or not the act was voluntary.

William James' rejection of "the agnostic rules for truth-seeking" using his romantic love/marriage example and explain what it means for the question of whether God exists

Logic of law is almost always derived from thought in a deductive and inductive principle. Most of the time it is categorized into four laws:

Sentences in the form "p and not p" are all false.

Every E sentence is equivalent to its own converse.
No valid syllogism can have an undistributed middle term.
The probability of a sentence is never less that of its conjunction with another sentence.
But let’s try to view these laws in line with four corresponding philosophical views, including their misleading and illuminating views.

Logical Laws as Inductive Generalizations

There are philosophers who try to view logic as an obvious truth, or a natural law.
In Barker’s book, Continue reading...

When Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) developed his Psychoanalysis theory, he believed that people could be cured just by making their thoughts conscious and personal motivations. He believed that the unconscious thoughts and feelings that accompany them could move to the conscious mind in a form of parapraxes, known as “Freudian Slips” or the slips of the tongue. People at the end reveal are speaking out a point that they were not supposed to utter out (McLeod, 2007).
He gave an example of a nutritionist who intended to say “We should always have the best in bread” in one of his Continue reading...

Summary

When any part of the body, aside from the brain, is transplanted, there will be no change to the individual’s personality or behavior. The biology of the human mind is very important in studying psychology. Every action and every idea of an individual is a result of biological phenomenon in the human brain. Psychologists are concerned about the biology of the mind since there are biological events that are linked to behavior. The link between the biology and behavior is not a new concept. It could be recognized in the teachings of the Greek Philosophers as well as Continue reading...

Essay
Dexter Morgan
Dexter Morgan represents a multifarious personality who occupies diverse aspects of behavioural dispositions. The character could be well examined through psychoanalytic perspective, emphasizing the unconscious practices of the human cognizance, to analyse the characteristics of his personality. However, reading a personality requires much appropriation that could reverberate proper attestation of the character under study. Sigmund Freud’s, the father of psychoanalytic approach, unique style of assessing personality reveals innumerable sets of behavioural aspects that form concrete understanding of the personality. Freud focuses on ID, Ego, and Super-Ego, the three parts of mind through which and Continue reading...

Introduction

The scientific understanding of man’s learning process or how the mind acquires knowledge is of utmost importance to psychologists especially those whose concern is on child growth and development. For the same reason, several studies have been conducted in order to increase scientific knowledge on this area. Among the most influential theorists in cognitive learning is the Swiss psychologist, Jean Piaget. According to Piaget, children are born with a basic mental structure that enables them to make various responses. As Piaget observed, the cognition process starts with simple responses and develops into a complex processes as the child Continue reading...

Behavioral Theory

In early twentieth century, Watson J. B. founded the behavioral theory. It was the first formulation of a comprehensible learning theory in contemporary western society. In the following few decades, various perspectives emerged from people like, Clark L. Hull, Edward C. Tolman, Edward Thorndike, Ivan Pavlov, and Lloyd C. Morgan (Harmening, 2010). Standard interventions for the above mentioned theory include; the belief that every individual can potentially be taught to execute any task, irrespective of issues like internal thoughts, personality traits, and genetic background. As such, all they require is the correct conditioning. Additionally, there is classical conditioning; a Continue reading...
