Psychological knowledge

by Martin Kusch · 1999

Cover of Psychological knowledge

Psychologists and philosophers have assumed that psychological knowledge is knowledge about, and held by, the individual mind. Psychological Knowledge challenges these views. It argues that bodies of psychological knowledge are social institutions like money or the monarchy, and that mental states are social artefacts like coins or crowns. Psychological Knowledge is both an introduction to the workings of constructivism as well as an insightful exploration of the history of psychology and the recent developments in philosophy of the mind.
