Synopsis
This book explores the foundational concepts of psychology outside of philosophical or theoretical schools of thought. It steers clear of historic distinctions between physical and metaphysical explanations of consciousness. Instead, the author argues that true understanding in this field can only be found through direct observation of real-world, human experiences. The book's main contribution is its proposal of a set of principles to guide the investigation of mental phenomena. The author holds that the exploration of conscious thought must include the subject's perspective in order to provide an account of real, rather than conceptual, experience. Furthermore, the author argues that external observation of behavior is not sufficient to develop a robust understanding of human psychology. The author of this book makes a compelling case for introspection and the direct examination of human experience as a scientific method in its own right. By seeking to look beyond the limitations of the physical and the purely mental, the author provides a practical set of principles for understanding the actual content and true nature of the human experience.
