Seeing if Analytic Philosophers can help with bringing attention to Core Problems in Psychology and to Specific Core Proposals for a new Approach

Contributors

Goal

Eliciting and soliciting analytic philosophers to see if they can see the full SET of core problems I see with most psychology theory (including both major core assumptions and RELATED bad thinking) and with related perspectives, approaches, and research. Then, also, assess the merits and place of my proposals for assumptions and perspective, generating an essentially new but extremely appropriate type of psychology theory and associated research (including the specific testable hypotheses provided). In fact, this new approach can be readily seen as providing NECESSARY changes in psychology -- really treating core central behavior patterns (all important general species-specific and species-typical behavior [patterns]) AS DEFINITIVELY BIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONING -- which undeniably it must be. This new Project, is especially for those having Philosophy as a profession (or sought profession) and for philosophy graduate students : those seeking to be analytic philosophers -- working philosophers, actually striving to do some of the important work of/for others. Interests must include: psychology, good science of behavior (not so much of "mind"), biology (including behavioral aspects, e.g. human ethology, ethogram) AND human cognitive development (ontogeny). Plus you must like and be good to this author, minimally to the extent of being: understandably on-the-subject and positively (affirmatively) useful -- all in ways one likely will readily be able to see. If the "above" well-describes you, no need to "apply", just apply yourselves. Thanks.

Hypothesis

Viewing all general, important, core behavior [patterns] (along with environmental aspects), being the full content of Psychology -- psychology, AS always clearly in fact and in theory and research, AS BIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONING. And to provide some specific testable hypotheses ALONG with the needed NEW theory, with good new alternative assumptions -- a theory that provide that good perspective, noted, and specifics.
