Psychological Theories from a Structuralist Point of View
1 online resource (xiii, 213 pages 8 illustrations)
The structuralist programme in philosophy of science offers a promising framework for theoretical investigations in psychology by providing powerful tools to handle many problems of interest in the analysis of psychological theories. This book presents structuralist reconstructions of five psychological theories, and structuralist constructions of two further ones, and assesses the current state of efforts to apply the structuralist approach to psychology.
