What is the connection between Psychology and Philosophy?

Question

Are they interconnected or are they two entities preceding along a parallel course?

Answer 1

Psycology, is how the mind works

Philosophy is how we think of things that cant be explained in scientific details yet.

Answer 2

The field of psychology was derived from philosophy. The early philsopher's beliefs often included a holism- mind/body/spirit combined. Early philosphers thus described the totality of an individual and meaninfulness in life, including how and why we think the way we do. Their beliefs trickled down in the later years of early education and universities - which is when psychology separated from philosophy as its own entity - this mainly became a distinct field in the early years of higher education - universities. From the days of Aristotles and Plato to current popular psychologists there have always existed arguements about mind-body connections versus the mind being separate from the body and soul. We cycle back and forth with the same questions and no real consensus when it comes to the question of mind/body/soul integrated versus separate functioning entities.

pain, just like in religion the more banter that can be brought to bare the better for the whole it becomes, both are tools of the nastiest trade in the world, cops use it, drug dealers use it, judges use it, women, use it, all play head games so they can give u a guilt trip for anything, to have an acute angle it takes lines of intent, these are the convergence of evil to "connect"

Answer 4

no, because psychology is a study of the mind, and philosophy is the study of truth or principles of real knowledge; the study of the most general causes and principles of the universe.

psychology study of human mind, behaviour, the way we think, but philosophy is about the principle, and ideas.
