The future of psychology
Our analysis of the specific relation between TEAB and psychology has highlighted the more general problem of coexistence of scientific approaches that develop different goal structures. Any field of inquiry that attempts to obtain scientific status without placing truth-value as its highest goal creates an environment that is counterproductive to obtaining systematic, scientific knowledge Contemporary psychology is characterized by generally uni…

The Riddle of Consciousness and the Changing Scientific WorldView
Centuries-old determinist traditions of scientific materialism are currently challenged in an unprecedented outburst during the past two decades of emerging new paradigms, new worldview "visions," new approaches to consciousness and to reality, and other transformative trends including an all-time high in favor of holism over reductionism. These revisionary developments are traced to sources in the preceding cognitive revolution and its changed c…
Consciousness and the Cognitive Revolution
Traditional scientific views of the conscious self and world we live in are challenged by an unprecedented outburst of emerging new paradigms, theories of consciousness, perceptions of reality, new sciences, new philosophies, epistemologies, and a host of other transformative approaches. This still expanding outburst can be traced, on both logical and chronologic grounds, not to chaos theory, ecology, the new physics, or dozens of other currently…

The impact and promise of the cognitive revolution
Opening a new era in science, psychology's cognitive rev-olution contradicts traditional doctrine that science has no use for consciousness to explain brain function. Sub-jective mental states as emergent interactive properties of brain activity become irreducible and indispensable for explaining conscious behavior and its evolution and get primacy in determining what a person is and does. Dual-istic unembodied consciousness is excluded. A modifi…
Science, Values, and Survival
In the context of today's mounting global problems, the relative demand for medical, educational, and related social benefits that derive from the neurosciences is diminished. At the same time the human value spin-offs of brain research and related sciences are thrust into a strategic position of top concern because of their key role as criteria for policy priorities and decision-making guidelines. Recent conceptual developments in the mind-brain…
