People sometimes suggest that psychology cannot be a science because either human behaviour cannot be predicted with perfect accuracy or thoughts and feelings cannot be observed directly. Do you agree? If yes or no, why?
Answers
Answer:
Science uses an empirical approach. Empiricism (founded by John Locke) states that the only source of knowledge comes through our senses – e.g. sight, hearing etc.
This was in contrast to the existing view that knowledge could be gained solely through the powers of reason and logical argument (known as rationalism). Thus, empiricism is the view that all knowledge is based on, or may come from experience.
The empirical approach through gaining knowledge through experience quickly became the scientific approach and greatly influenced the development of physics and chemistry in the 17th and 18th centuries.
