- W2515801161 abstract "PSYCHOLOGY IS A PECULIAR DISCIPLINE. Chemistry is the science that attempts to explain chemical phenomena. Zoology is the science that attempts to explain zoological phenomena. One might expect psychology of be the science that attempts to explain psychological phenomena. But psychology, as practiced today, attempts rather to explain behavioral phenomena (including verbal behavior). Psychological notions enter its endeavor only as part of the explanans, not as part of the explanandum. In this psychology differs markedly from the bona fide sciences, such as chemistry and zoology, in the image of which psychologists have tried so deliberately to cast their discipline. There is of course a perfectly understandable reason for this. The psychological phenomena given to us pretheoretically are the phenomena manifest in the stream of consciousness. Embarrassingly, these appear to be “private” and “publicly inaccessible”. The sense in which this is so is elusive but familiar. Right now I am visualizing a purple threewheeled dragon; I know that this is so in a way you do not. And if next I imagine something else, equally outlandish, and refuse to share the content of my visualization with anybody, then the following becomes true: there is a fact – part of the natural history of the universe – which is known to one person only. One could rightly call it a private fact. When in its introspectionist infancy psychology really dealt with the psychological phenomena, it dealt with facts of this sort. And this too marked it as very different from more established sciences: the phenomena chemistry and zoology try to explain are public phenomena, phenomena nobody can claim exclusive access to or privileged authority over. So in search of phenomena more like those of chemistry and zoology, psychologists ended up training their powers on behavioral rather than psychological phenomena. Unfortunately, however, this strategic decision does not make the psychological phenomena disappear. A science targeting the psychological phenomena, rather than behavioral phenomena, is still needed by anyone who would like to see science produce a truly comprehensive account of the world. If the name “psychology” is to be reserved to the science that tries to explain behavioral phenomena, then some other name is needed for the science that attempts to explain the psychological phenomena, that is, the phenomena manifest in the stream of consciousness. The first task of that science would be to describe the phenomena it attempts to explain. The task of explaining the phenomena can only come later, when the phenomena in need of explanation have been suitably deSYMPOSIUM" @default.
