The hard problem of consciousness refers to the question regarding how physical phenomena like brain processes are related to experiential states such as mental experience which have phenomenal qualities.

Functionalism tries to explain mental states in terms of causal relations and sensory stimulations.

But philosopher David Chalmers points out that while functionalism answers the easy problem of how the brain processes information and responds to stimuli, it does not explain why physical processes are accompanied by specific mental states. For example, why does one not only recoil in response to injury but also experience pain? And why the experience of pain in particular, as opposed to say, itching?

Which statement best fits the humanistic philosophy? a) I don't know why I signed up for psychology. b) I had to take psychology

Musya8 [376]

d) I wanted to take psychology.

Explanation:

Humanistic psychology, a direction in psychology derived from the humanistic theory of Abraham Maslow.
Humanistic psychology developed during the 1960s into a movement that was proclaimed the "third force" in psychology (along with psychoanalysis and behaviorism). In human psychology, man is a free, dynamic and creative being, responsible for his own quality of life.
Specific human characteristics such as values, ideals and aspirations cannot be explained by innate urges (such as psychoanalysis), nor by responding to environmental stimuli (behaviorism). The originally healthy and creative nature of man strives not only for the attainment and maintenance of homeostasis, but for the growth and development and realization of human possibilities.
The self-actualized person realized his or her abilities and developed into a healthy and adjusted personality. Humanistic psychology has diverse applications in psychological counseling and psychotherapy practice, as well as for educational purposes. Its goals are to foster self-actualization, self-understanding and mutual understanding.
