    A Philosophical-Psychology Subforum

    Perhaps under the philosophy section, we ought to have a subforum dedicated to psychology? Discussions specifically about the human mind, certain theories, et cetera, could be brought there.

    Edit: The above is to be taken in the PHILOSOPHIC as opposed to the medical/scientific sense.

    That he has been around a while and should have a feel where topics fit.

    I actually had meant more "philosophic psychology". Things which are generally considered part of "philosophy of mind" and other considerations, as opposed to psychology as a scientific/medical field which fits more in line with the "human science" area. Generally such topics as these spring up in the philosophy subforum. It seems out of place to use the Human Science section to discuss Plato's theory of the tripartite composition of the soul/mind, or Kant's categories of thought.

    My apologies for not clarifying.

    ANd by the way: Those 2,000+ posts have been quality! Save for my insistance that David Hume could not turn around in his grave because he was too fat. I will give you that one.

    In that case I would say they would fit in the philosophy section.

    Though sometimes it is hard to discriminate between "philsophy" and "science." The two topics merge at times. In that case, it's your choice.

    how does that song go from seasame street ?
    some of these things belong together....etc...

    but i would have to say
    anthropology, archaeology do not.
    anthropology & archaeology have no real place in Psychology,
    Sociology has no real place in Psychology (kinda.. sorta).

    i have been stumped about this one for many years, but if thats the way it must be then thats the way it must be.

    A Psychology and Sociology area would be Ideal in my opinion

    Being an anthropologist that specializes in archaeology, I would agree. Put the psychology section elsewhere with other cognitive science and give anthropology, archaeology and sociology their own section.

    Unfortunately, the separate sections probably wouldn't have a big draw, since few people seem inclined to discuss anthropology and archaeology directly. Sociology is very much related to anthropology, so much so, that many of the courses in universities overlap and the research methods are very much the same for ethnography as they are for sociology. The link between archaeology and psychology is therefore the link between anthropology and sociology. And psychology is obviously very concerned with sociological issues.
