Synopsis:
What is science, and to what extent does psychology exemplify scientific characteristics? What is the mind, and what does psychology have to say about this central object of study? This major new textbook provides a clear and comprehensive guide to the theoretical issues at the heart of contemporary psychology. It reaches across several disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science, and guides the reader through the major issues.

A bold new volume, Theoretical Issues in Psychology is intended for academics and students in psychology, history of psychology, philosophy of science, sociology of science, and philosophy of the mind.
