Philosophy and Psychological Studies

About this course

Philosophy and psychological studies is a combination that explores the deepest questions about mind, knowledge, and human nature from two complementary perspectives. Philosophy asks what the mind is and how we can know anything about it, engaging with questions of consciousness, personal identity, free will, and the nature of mental states through argument and conceptual analysis. Psychological studies investigates human thought, behaviour, emotion, and development through empirical research, asking how people actually function rather than only how they must logically function. Together the two disciplines provide a uniquely rigorous framework for understanding what it means to be a thinking, feeling person. This part-time programme is offered by the Open University through distance learning, making it accessible to students who cannot commit to full-time campus-based study. The Open U
