本期节目是Jim Rutt Show关于Gregg Henriques的书籍《解决心理学问题的全新综合：解决启蒙差距》系列的第二部分。他们讨论了标准自然科学视角的局限性、启蒙差距、BM3、心理行为主义、正当性系统理论、发现知识树系统、复杂化的演变、意识的出现、解决弗洛伊德和斯金纳之间的矛盾、行为周期表、心理学的三个分支、信息处理的历史、笛卡尔二元论的不可行性、自上而下的因果关系、Lawrence Cahoone的系统性形而上学、区分物理主义和自然主义、行为作为自然科学的核心概念、复杂与复杂、Chalmers的难题、控制论和认知科学革命、4E认知科学、内部语言和个体差异等等。

🤔 Gregg Henriques提出了一种名为“统一知识理论”的全新心理学理论，旨在解决“启蒙差距”，即自然科学方法无法解释人类思维和意识的难题。

🧠 该理论将心理学建立在“行为”这一核心概念之上，并将其与自然科学的其他领域相整合，以解释人类行为的复杂性。它还引入了“知识树系统”，将人类认知和行为的各个方面归纳为一个统一的框架。

🌐 Henriques认为，人类的意识和思维是通过复杂化的演变而产生的，而这种复杂化是建立在自然科学的基本原则之上的。他将心理学划分为三个分支：基础心理学、应用心理学和整合心理学，以更好地理解和解决人类行为的问题。

🧬 此外，他强调了“自上而下的因果关系”的重要性，即人类的思维和意识可以影响和塑造外部世界，而不是仅仅是被外部世界所决定。

💡 Henriques的理论提出了一种新的视角来理解人类行为，并为解决心理学领域长期存在的问题提供了新的思路。
