Outline of Theoretical Psychology discusses basic philosophical
problems in the discipline and profession of psychology. The author
addresses such topics as what it means to be human in psychology; how
psychological knowledge is possible and what it consists of; the role
of social justice in psychology; and how aesthetic experience could
help us to understand the human condition. Proposing possible
solutions to a range of such issues, Thomas Teo situates theoretical
questions within traditional branches of philosophical inquiry:
ontology, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics. This book argues that
in order to improve psychology as a discipline and in practice,
psychologists must reconceive the unit of psychological analysis,
looking beyond individual capacity and even experience. By engaging
with these basic philosophical problems, Teo demonstrates how
psychology can avoid its common pitfalls and continue as a force for
resistance and the good.
