Question

Define psychology. What makes this a science as different than philosophy

Answer 1

Answer:

Psychology is a science because it follows the empirical method. ... It is this emphasis on the empirically observable that made it necessary for psychology to change its definition from the study of the mind (because the mind itself could not be directly observed) to the science of behavior.

Explanation:

Science is about empirical knowledge; philosophy is also about a priori knowledge (if it exists). ... Science is about descriptive facts; philosophy is also about normative truths (if they exist). Science is about physical objects; philosophy is also about abstract objects (if they exist).
