Today, in 2023, the second most popular A level subject is psychology. Why? What does psychology have in common with philosophy?

Donald Lambie, head of the School of Philosophy and Economic Science, explores a western view of psychology. Although Patanjali could be regarded as a supreme psychologist, this lecture briefly explores western psychology, and in particular, the 'daylight view'.

He begins with exploring what is psyche.

    Very motivating en brightening introduction. Up to date and in a practical way very well based. A credible starting point, whenever you're not happy.... There is a way out. I've send it to my 23, 21 an 18 year old children, who consider me a babyboomer... I couldn't have said it better....
