PHILOSOPHY VS PSYCHOLOGY

Both psychology and philosophy are words originating from the Greek language. The word philosophy translates to “love of wisdom”. Philosophers study the essential, important, and underlying issues associated with items such as knowledge, reason, values, and existence. One of the best known philosophical questions is “What is the meaning of life?” The word psychology translates to “the study of human spirit”.

Psychologists study the mental processes used by the human mind including both conscious and unconscious feelings, and the human behavior that results from those feelings. Another important difference is the methods used by each discipline to answer questions. Philosophy studies will generally never result in a single, correct answer. Psychology uses scientific methods that test hypothesis and produce concrete results. -ProProfs.com

Philosophy creates philosophical systems or categories that serve to explain reality. Psychology, instead of studying a whole like philosophy, seeks to isolate individual variables of human behavior. Therefore, psychologicaltheories consider our biology. One example is the study of our brain chemistry.Aug 12, 2019
