“For Jews, the Messiah has never come; for Christians, He has come but once; for modern man, He appears and disappears with increasing rapidity. The saviors of modern man, the "scientists" who promise salvation through the "discoveries" of ethology and sociology, psychology and psychiatry, and all the other bogus religions, issue forth periodically, as if selected by some Messiah-of-the-Month Club.” IfsMenChristianIssuesPsychologyModernMonthsPromiseDiscoveryScientistSalvationJewClubsDisappearSaviorSociologyPsychiatrySelectedMessiahModern Man Author:Thomas Szasz

“Epistemology now flourishes with various complementary approaches. This includes formal epistemology, experimental philosophy, cognitive science and psychology, including relevant brain science, and other philosophical subfields, such as metaphysics, action theory, language, and mind. It is not as though all questions of armchair, traditional epistemology are already settled conclusively, with unanimity or even consensus. We still need to reason our way together to a better view of those issues.” WayNeedsMindStillsReasonPhilosophyActionTogetherLanguageViewsBrainIssuesPsychologyTheoryApproachPhilosophicalIncludingVariousTraditionalRelevantFormalMetaphysicsConsensusCognitiveEpistemologyCognitive ScienceComplementaryArmchairsUnanimityBrain Science Author:Ernest Sosa
“When we start making distinctions between soul and spirit, we're in very, very murky waters. There is the whole issue of the English language, which has a rather limited vocabulary when it comes to psychological descriptions, not to speak of spiritual descriptions. We're good mythically - the English language is superb for myth. But we're not very good for psychology or spirituality.” SoulWholeSpiritualSpiritSpiritualitySpeakLanguageWaterIssuesPsychologyVery GoodMythPsychologicalDistinctionDescriptionVocabularyEnglish LanguageSuperbMurky Water Author:Jean Houston

“Everyone deserves love and appreciation. If there is someone in the world whom we do not love, it is our blessing to work this out within ourselves. A very key spiritual principle, echoed in the Cayce readings as well as mainstream psychology, is that whatever we see in others that makes us angry, sad or jealous is a reflection of an issue we have in ourselves. If we can learn to love, respect and forgive ourselves, then we will not be angered and offended by what we see in others.” IfsWorldWellsInspirationSpiritualReadingPrinciplesIssuesPsychologyKeysBlessingReflectionDeserveAngryForgivingAppreciationJealousMainstreamOffendedLove RespectLove And AppreciationDeserve Love Author:David Wilcock
“The issue Fodor writes about is central to the psychology of perception, cognition, and action. It is the central issue for anyone who would seriously study the neurobiology of behavior: Is the mind organized horizontally or vertically or both, and what are the consequences to psychology of proceeding on one assumption or the other? This has been little analyzed and written about. Jerry Fodor has repaired that omission and had done it brilliantly.” WritingMindLittlesHas BeensDoneActionStudyIssuesPsychologyWrittenBehaviorPerceptionConsequenceAssumptionOrganizedJerryCognitionProceedingOmissionNeurobiology Author:Alvin Liberman
“I have one other issue I'd like to throw on the table. I hesitate to do it, but let me tell you some of the issues that are involved here. If we are dealing with psychology, then the thermometers one uses to measure it have an effect. I was raising the question on the side with Governor Mullins of what would happen if the Treasury sold a little gold in this market. There's an interesting question here because if the gold price broke in that context, the thermometer would not be just a measuring tool. It would basically affect the underlying psychology.” IfsLittlesUseHappensSidesInterestingIssuesPsychologyEffectsInvolvedToolsGoldLet MeTablesBrokeGovernorsMeasuringTreasuryThermometersGold Price Author:Alan Greenspan
