THEORY AND PSYCHOLOGY

Theory & Psychology

In this section you will find a selection of theoretical discussions concerning social behavior, and the relationship between psychological science and other fields of human scholarship, such as literature. At the highest level of abstraction, science and art are both concerned with developing narratives about ourselves and our universes. The more powerful the narrative, the better it will be able to bridge the”art-science” gap.
