Both psychoanalysis and behaviourism have been candidates for science of the mind, psychoanalysis being in favour with cartesian substance dualism and behaviourism rejecting it. But, psychoanalysis could not succeed in the scientific realms and behaviourism more or less failed. The other alternative to dualism is the identity theory... #philosophyofmind #dualism #identitytheory #mind #ockhamsrazor #psychoanalysis #hilaryputnam #Qualia #philosophy #gottlobfrege https://philosophyindefinitely.wordpress.com/2020/08/11/the-identity-theory/

I've always considered #identity, much like #knowledge, an #individual's own, personal, tacit, unique attribute, evolved through a lifetime and representing the history of all social interactions they had with their environment.

I find the modern #identitytheory focus on the many #social "identities" (father, golfer, employee, etc ...) one has during the day, wrong.

In my view, these are just external #roles one assumes and plays in different #systems they are part of. They may define #what an individual is but not #who they are.

In fact, I believe that it is #who an individual is that affect #how they do #what they do in the role they are given.

I also consider the largely accepted academic #theory presented in the attached document as the direct cause of our present dysfunctional society marred by #identitypolitics.
