The main focus of philosophical psychology is to explore the nature of the mind, consciousness, and mental processes through rational inquiry and analysis. It aims to understand how the mind functions, how it relates to the body, and the implications of mental phenomena on our understanding of reality and human nature. Philosophical psychology seeks to uncover the underlying principles and mechanisms that govern human cognition, emotion, and behavior.
Psychology is both a scientific and philosophical pursuit. While it uses scientific methods to study behavior and mental processes, it also delves into philosophical questions related to the nature of the mind, consciousness, and human experience. Philosophical concepts such as free will, determinism, and morality often influence psychological theories and research.
Aristotle's thoughts on what we now call psychology are to be found in his treatise On the Soul: there he taught that there were three kind of souls: the vegetative soul, the sensitive soul, and the rational soul. Humans had according to him a rational soul, giving them the ability to analyze and compare thoughts and things.
The first area of psychology to be studied was philosophy, as early philosophical thinkers explored questions related to the mind, consciousness, and behavior. Wilhelm Wundt is often credited with founding the first psychology laboratory in 1879, marking the formal beginning of psychology as a scientific discipline.
It would help to know if this question is referred from another piece of text that you've seen (i.e., is "Christians hate psychology" quoted from something?). Christians do not hate psychology, nor am I aware of this being a common stereotype of them. Most modern, rational Christians do not hold any hatred of the scientific disciplines, nor of psychology, generally speaking.
Psychology emerged as a separate discipline in the 19th century, building upon various philosophical and scientific traditions. It was heavily influenced by the work of Wilhelm Wundt, who established the first psychology laboratory in 1879 in Leipzig, Germany. Since then, psychology has evolved into a diverse field that studies the mind, behavior, and underlying mental processes.
Philosophical Psychology - journal - was created in 1988.
