RohinGupta Posted April 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 I got couple of private responses to my post. Applying the feedback, I will add another chapter. In this chapter I will explain concept formation, generalization, principle formation, and application for concepts of consciousness. In the process explaining fallacies like misclassification of units, wrong connection of concepts etc. This will serve dual purpose. One, it will illuminate epistemological aspects of psychology. Secondly, it will illuminate concepts of consciousness like feeling, thinking, knowledge, methods etc. Plus I will widen the scope of Evolution of Psychology to more modern intellectuals. Further, if we look at the history of philosophical ideas, we realize that application of these ideas to specific subjects has been a more potent force in spreading the ideas, than directly applying philosophical ideas to specific situations. For example, during Renaissance, ideas of Aristotle were applied to particular social situations like religious persecution (by Voltaire) or validating religious ideas(by Aquinas). However, its only when the philosophical ideas were used to form specific subjects like science (by Newton, Galileo etc.), or politics(by Locke and Founding Fathers), that the philosophy transmitted much more accurately and quickly to the man in the street. So even as we try to apply philosophical ideas to specific situations like COVID-19 crisis and political events, I think contributing to this thread will be a great value-add in long term.
