History of Psychology

Chinese philosophy

  • The Yin-Yang school of classical Chinese philosophy is most likely the earliest. It is a comprehensive metaphysics that includes both natural occurrences and human concerns and is based on the Yin and Yang concept. Later, it was used in a variety of fields and professions, including as medicine, nutrition, the arts, martial arts, and others.
  • A distinguishing feature of Chinese philosophy is its emphasis on practicality, which has pervaded the whole tradition since antiquity. In contrast to western philosophy, there is a progression of ideas from antiquity to the present. Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism are some of the pre-Christian philosophies that helped to shape the ancient heritage. All of these ideologies have their roots in or are infused with religious and ethical ideas.

Indian philosophy

  • The Vedas, which address issues such as natural laws, the beginning of the cosmos, and man's position in it, serve as the foundation for Indian philosophy. "Whence all creation had its birth, he, whether he fashioned it or whether he did not, he, who observes it all from highest heaven, he knows—or perhaps even he does not know," the poet writes in the classic Rigvedic Hymn of Creation.
  • According to the Vedic viewpoint, the self-awareness of the primordial entity is what gave rise to creation (Purusha). This prompts research into the one entity responsible for the creation of all things as well as the variety of factual facts. Rta and karma both refer to the cosmic order as causal law. Three attributes are believed to exist in nature.

Conclusion

  • From the Presocratic to the Hellenists, there is a preference for reason, whether it is used to find truth or tranquility. The Presocratic prefer reason or reasoned accounts to mythology, sometimes in order to find physical explanations for the phenomena all around us, to think more clearly about the gods, or sometimes to find out truths about our own psychology. For Socrates, the exercise of reason and argumentation was important to recognize one’s own limitations as a human being. For Plato, the life of reason is the best life, even if it cannot ultimately answer every question. Aristotle used reason to investigate the world around him, in some sense resuscitating the Presocratic preference for physical explanations, and returning lofty discussions to earth.
