Описание книги

Are we rational creatures? Do we have free will? Can we ever know ourselves? These and other fundamental questions have been discussed by philosophers over millennia. But recent empirical findings in psychology and neuroscience suggest we should reconsider them. This textbook provides an engrossing overview of contemporary debates in the philosophy of psychology, exploring the ways in which the interaction and collaboration between psychologists and philosophers contribute to a better understanding of the human mind, cognition and behaviour. Miyazono and Bortolotti discuss pivotal studies in cognitive psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, evolutionary psychology, clinical psychology and neuroscience, and their implications for philosophy. Combining the latest philosophical and psychological research with an accessible style, Philosophy of Psychology is a crucial resource for students from either discipline. It is the most up-to-date text for modules on philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology, philosophy of mental health and philosophy of cognitive science.

Similarly, it is not easy to answer probabilistic judgments such as ‘What is the probability of Linda being a bank teller?’ or ‘What is the probability of Jack being an engineer?’ However, instead of answering these questions, one can substitute them with questions of similarity, which are a lot easier: ‘How is Linda’s description similar to that of a stereotypical bank teller?’ or ‘How is Jack’s description similar to that of a stereotypical engineer?’ The substitution in this case is known as an application of the ‘representativeness heuristic’, in which ‘probabilities are evaluated by the degree to which A is representative of B, that is, by the degree to which A resembles B’ (Tversky & Kahneman 1974, 1124).

The representativeness heuristic works in many cases, but it inevitably leads to systematic errors in other cases. For instance, it leads to the violation of the conjunction rule when participants are asked to compare the probability of Linda being a bank teller with the probability of Linda being a feminist bank teller. When participants rely on the representativeness heuristic, they compare the similarity between Linda and a stereotypical bank teller and the similarity between Linda and a stereotypical feminist bank teller. Since Linda is not similar to a stereotypical bank teller at all, participants come to the conclusion that Linda is more likely to be a feminist bank teller than a bank teller, which is mathematically fallacious.
