Overview

Philosophy is the systematic, critical inquiry into fundamental questions of existence, knowledge, reason, values, mind and language. Its principal branches include metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, logic and the philosophy of mind, and it proceeds through conceptual analysis, argument and reflection rather than empirical experiment alone. In relation to psychology, philosophy supplies foundational questions about the nature of mind, consciousness, memory, free will and moral reasoning, and it informs debates over scientific method, the interpretation of evidence and the ethical conduct of inquiry. The two disciplines meet most directly in the philosophy of mind, in moral and political philosophy, and in the philosophy and methodology of science. Research relevant to this area includes ethical and political analysis drawing on the work of John Stuart Mill; reflection on culture, conflict and change within organisations; the examination of memory as a universal yet incompletely understood concept; phenomenological and qualitative methodology in research; and methodological debate over whether data-driven hypotheses can replace the scientific method. Further discussion of evolution and the revision of the Darwinian project, and of culture in relation to behaviour and health, reflects philosophy's engagement with the foundations of science and human life. Across these contributions the field applies rigorous reasoning to questions of mind, ethics, knowledge and method that underpin and intersect with the scientific study of human psychology.
