Do you think Philosophy is owed more credit for inspiring the Psychologies of today?

Question

Does anyone else suspect that many ideas in psychology (particularly psychoanalysis) are stolen philosophy ideas. I refer to examples;
1. Freuds 3 part self straight out of Plato's Republic and The tripartide structure of the soul.
2. Jung's Collective Unconscious stolen from Hegel's Absolute in human consciousness.
3. Cognitive Behavioural therapy straight from the pages of the stoics like Marcus Aurelius.
Apart from examples does anyone here agree?
Here's why its important practically; with a counselling degree you can get a job helping people imrove their lives even though Counselling gains many of its ideas STRAIGHT from Philosophy. With a philosophy degree if you dont lecture you might be lucky helping people choose whether or not they want fries with that.
How can such a noble and esteemed field of knowledge be relegated to such disrespect after 2500 years of service to humanity?
Your views please? Thanks.

Hathor-like the way "Americans" rediscovered America and fecked those already there into reservations. My point here is that psycholgy is not a threat to philosophy, its more of an invasion and assimilation.

Answer 1

Yes, there's a good deal of psychology that's been ripped off from philosophy. Philosophy is such a broad area that it's ideas and thoughts are even ripped off by math, science, maybe even politics.

Answer 2

Yes. Much of psychology is taken from analytical and continental philosophy. Philosophy is rooted in thinking and logic. It generally reflects the investigation or causes of all known things including but not limited to perceived reality and values. It is more true when applied to continental philosophies…the study of existentialism, structuralism, and then bringing the thinking into the deconstruction phases of development. Philosophy has existed since ancient times. Psychology is a relatively modern concept when compared to the origins of philosophy. Philosophy provided the leaping off point for illustrious figures in psychology, such as Freud and Jung.

Answer 3

You could take into account that the philosophers were not the only ones capable of thinking about the mind and human experience. Philosophers and psychologists, or any person for that matter, encounter certain universal human questions that one field cannot answer alone, or completely.

Since people share many conditions in common, it is possible that the founders of psychology (with their own thoughts and experiences and methods and TERMINOLOGY) would develop similar conclusions or principles governing and addressing human thought and behavior, independently of the venerable Ancients.

And some ideas and debates in philosophy about the human person and society ARE credited for inspiring psychology in its history. Carl Jung, most notably, borrowed ideas from Eastern cultures and philosophy for his theories on shared archetypes.

Answer 4

Much of what you wrote: I know a little about philosophy and psychological postures. Above all, philosophy defines the use of logic and reasoning. No, I don't think it's possible to owe philosophy anything, except arrogance. The inspiration for psychological study is animal activity, or well-being. The philosophers responsibility is to determine the acceptable truth for now and later®.

Answer 5

Actually I think it's the other way around ! The nut cases have inspired the thoughts of philosophers...

Answer 6

I'm not sure they are "stolen" some are rediscovered.
