Are humans rational creatures? Do we have free will? Can we ever know ourselves? These are some of the fundamental questions that have been discussed by philosophers over millennia. But recent empirical findings in psychology and neuroscience suggest we should reconsider them. This textbook provides an engrossing overview of contemporary debates in the philosophy of psychology, and explores the ways in which the interaction and collaboration between psychologists and philosophers contributes to a better understanding of the human mind, cognition, and behaviour. Bortolotti and Miyazono discuss pivotal studies in cognitive psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, evolutionary psychology, clinical psychology, and neuroscience, and their implications for philosophy. Combining the latest philosophical and psychological research with an accessible style, Philosophy of Psychology is a crucial resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students from either discipline. It is the most up-to-date text for modules in subjects including philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology, and philosophy of cognitive science.
