Philosophy of Mind and Psychology
Master

Learn a philosophical approach to understanding the human psyche. Delve into philosophical texts and reflect on theories and findings from other relevant disciplines - such as psychology, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence - and gain more insights into mental phenomena, such as ‘emotions’, ‘intelligence’ and ‘cognition’.
Study themes at the intersection of philosophy and psychology and reflect on the mental phenomena that jointly make up the ‘human mind’.
Examples of questions you will reflect on:
- What role do and should emotions play in our decision making?
- How do we cope with crises, risks, uncertainties and turbulence?
- How susceptible are we to external influences and how should this affect our claims about being free and autonomous agents?
- How and to what extent is the human mode of coming to grips with reality through (knowledge-based) understanding, itself limited and a hindrance in understanding the human mind?
- What are the limits of a scientific understanding of the human species?
- What does psychology, as a discipline, has to contribute to our understanding of all this? And how can philosophy help deepen that understanding?
