Praetorius, N. (2001a) Précis for multiple review of "Principles of Cognition, Language and Action", Psycoloquy, 12(027).
No full textThe book exposes serious flaws in the reductionist assumptions of Mind and Matter of Naturalism and Constructivism, which underlie research and theorizing on cognition, language and action within current academic psychology. The author argued for alternative tenable assumptions about the relation between mental and material reality which, as a matter of principle, must be taken for granted, and be the point of departure for all further investigations into both reality and our descriptions of it. It is the intention to show that the assumptions and principles derived from the arguments in the book offer a consistent foundation for a science of psychology. Furthermore, it seems that they open up new and straightforward ways of dealing with key-issues of truth and intentionality, subjectivity and objectivity, of relevance to psychology, philosophy and the humanities

Praetorius, N. (2002b) Basic Conditions for Knowledge and Description of Real Things vs. Fictional Entities. Psycoloquy, 13(022).
No full textIn his review, Hutto suggests that meaningful and true claims about "fictional entities", and entities which in retrospect prove to be "fictional", seem to question the generality of "the principle of the correctness of knowledge and language". By sorting out some misunderstandings of the "Correctness Principle", and clarifying the conditions for description and knowledge of "real" vs. "fictional" entities, I hope to show that the Correctness Principle does indeed apply to knowledge and description of both "real" and "fictional" entities

No full textIn my reply to Siiner and Hermann I hope to make clear that although the principles argued for in my book may guide psychology in determining what KIND of questions we may meaningfully ask about our cognition, language and action - and hope to answer - by empirical psychological investigations, neither the principles nor their implications may in themselves serve as answers to these questions in advance of such investigations

No full textFollowing a discussion of the statue of our cognition and descriptions in publicly observable physical material reality, and of our internal states, such as our thoughts, emotions and feelings of pain, it is argued that conditions exist which apply equally for the inter-subjectivity of cognition and description of both publicly observable thing and internal states. It is shown that on these conditions rests the possibility of persons together developing criteria or standards for determining and distinguishing between what is and what is not publicly observable. The same conditions, so it is argued, rule out any consistent notions of private cognition and languages. On these conditions, furthermore, relies the possibility of persons talking about their individual differences – concerning both what is and what is not publicly observable – and thus for a person to be a person different from other persons. The paper concludes by outlining the consequences for constructivists and traditional Cartesian assumptions on the acquisition and development of cognition and language which underly present day Cognitive Science

No full textAbstract.The paper discusses the flaws in the solutions proposed byphilosophical positions of constructivism and naturalism of the mind–bodyand mind–reality problems to which Cartesian dualism gives rise. It isargued that subscribing—explicitly or implicitly—to the assumptions ofthese philosophical positions by two research traditions within currentacademic psychology, that is, social constructionism and cognitive neuro-science, the flaws and problems that these positions inherit cease to be ofmerely ‘philosophical’ interest, but become flaws in the foundations of thescience of psychology. More importantly, the aim is to show how argu-ments in refutation of the assumptions of naturalism and constructivism inturn suggest and point to tenable alternative assumptions about the relationbetween mind and reality and between mind and body, which—as a matterof principle—must be taken for granted by both philosophy and psychol-ogy
