psychology
With the advent of scientific method came experimental psychology and opportunity of study
with measure all the problems about “mind” and psyche that belongs to philosophy in resent
and ancient past. Attention, language, consciousness, capacity of judgments, memory and
subtypes, perception, were exanimated, analyzed and study for the improvement of human
abilities in society. In the 21st century human engineering has been revolutionized and
improved cognitive and motor skills, the individual can solved complex problems now, is
economical productive, speaks many languages, is a professional and is a able to afford a
certain style of life.
In the periphery of this society of human improvement, there is a population of individuals
that are not economical productive, “that are morally corrupted”, or have cognitive
disabilities, and they are excluded to institutions for the sake of their rehab and upturn.
Philosophy, Psychological theories and cognitive sciences explain the problem with a
rhetoric full of euphemism, and try it to solve it with confinement and therapy for recovery
once lost abilities.
Conclusion
Descartes says in Meditation III that reality and objects can´t be explain as separate things
also he says that ideas are things. In cognitive sciences, this philosophical quote is a primary
source of investigation, we are what we perceived, and we are our beliefs. Ideas could be
more than isolated thing, and become a whole reality for a single person. We can learn more
about human mind condition not only making diagnostic, instead, we could explain these
conditions in more dimensional aspects; trying to move the speech into the elements of
reality, in the end, not single “Irrational person” talk only about unreal things, they use a
common language, talk with real words about some kind of objects and situations. There is
someone still behind the delusions and cognitive dysfunction.
There is a medical explanation for understand these conditions in plenty of cases, but I
believe that society is responsible for many of these so called “dysfunctions”, excluding and
reducing our human abilities as a recyclable product, one time we are no longer functional to
a purpose. We live in a century of minorities, every group feel excluded, oppressed and
forbidden, but there are no minorities in groups, only in the individual. Those who live their
life in an isolated room, they are the minority, and they need someone to talk for them,
because we excluded them in the past, with our theories, because there is a “Genetic cause”
for abnormal behavior. A society of stress needs a neurophysiological theory for mental
pathology in order to preserve all his power and remain innocent.
