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?
