Philosophical Psychology

Philosophical psychology explores the relationship between the mind and behavior. Internalism suggests that mental processes and states are determined by internal factors, like thoughts and feelings, while externalism argues that the context, environment, and social factors significantly shape them. Psychophysical laws examine how mental states relate to physical processes, aiming to bridge the gap between mind and body. By investigating these perspectives, philosophical psychology seeks to understand how we think, feel, and act, and how our inner experiences connect with the outer world.
