The Cartesian and Hegelian Paradigms as Epistemological Bases of Social Psychology

View through CrossRef
Abstract: this paper aims to discuss the philosophical foundations of Psychology. Here, the cartesian and hegelian paradigms will be questioned. They, according to Farr (2013), are fundamental milestones in the constitution of Psychology as an area of knowledge. In this sense, it is initially proposed to present the Cartesian paradigm and its consequences in the social and human sciences, in general, and in Psychology, specifically. In a second moment, will be presented the philosophical paradigm inaugurated by Hegel as a more social and relational alternative to the cartesian model. Finally, a discussion will be made of how this hegelian paradigm - especially its historical dialectic and the indeterminate principle - is in line with the proposals of modern scientific theories, and can contribute to solve some theoretical problems that such areas have faced.Os Paradigmas Cartesiano e Hegeliano como Bases Epistemológicas da Psicologia SocialResumo: esse trabalho tem como objetivo realizar a discussão acerca dos fundamentos filosóficos da Psicologia.
