Initial comments
It is hard to overstate the importance of this article for the Psychology Wiki, providing as it does a guide towards one of our key aims of integrating the field. The key point for me is that it makes clear the category error at the heart of much thinking in psychology. We are not all dealing with the same stuff and a program of straightforward reductionism will fail. Hardware ((Neuroanatomy, biochemistry etc)) will take us so far, but without understanding that software (Meaning, meaning of meaning, language, metaphor, culture etc) need another level of discourse we will not make progress. The challenge is to work out how to negotiate the boundary and the reflexive properties of organic systems (such that hardware modifies software modifies hardware etc.). I think the wiki can go a long way in providing the tools to make these issues clearer by gathering all the references together, gathering the evidence into articles and then drawing these into an overall structure.Dr Joe Kiff - User:Lifeartist (talk) 09:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
