Abstract

This article makes an informative overview of a number of current problems in the philosophy of psychology. One of the aims here is to frame the problem area which characterizes the philosophy of psychology. To achieve this, the domain is compared with those of the philosophy of mind and cognitive psychology while also differentiating from them. The interface problem is in focus in the article, both as part of a bigger discussion concerning the four pictures of the mind entwined in its analysis, which influences the clarification of psychological constructs, as well as in terms of philosophy of psychology debates.
