Overview
Apply a philosophical approach to study at the intersection of philosophy and psychology and reflect on the mental phenomena that jointly make up the ‘human mind’ in the Philosophy - Philosophy of Mind and Psychology program from Tilburg University . Examples of questions you will reflect on:
- How do we cope with crises, insecurities and turbulence?
- How susceptible are we to external influences and can we still claim to be free and autonomous agents?
- What role do emotions play in our mental lives?
- Why do we make cognitive mistakes and do these mean we are not as rational as we think and want to be?
- How and to what extent is the human mode of coming to grips with reality through (knowledge-based) understanding, itself limited with regards to grasping the human mind?
- What are the limits of psychology, as a discipline?
- What does psychology contribute to our understanding of all this? And how can philosophy help deepen that understanding?
Career prospects
After completing the Master’s track in Philosophy of Mind and Psychology, you will be able to reflect critically on what we (can) claim to know about the workings of the mind and its connection to human life.
The knowledge and insights you acquire in this track, offer a solid foundation for a career in research, education, consultancy, policy-making, politics, journalism, counseling, coaching, or mental health care.
