Toward a Cultural Evolutionary Psychology: Why the Evolutionary Approach does not Imply Reductionism or Determinism.

摘要: Does evolutionary psychology (EP) properly account for the sociocultural context? it underestimate both developmental and relational aspects of human psyche? Is instantiated in a mechanistic epistemology? imply determinism or reductionism? The commentaries on our previous target article raised similar questions we try to tackle them current response. Our “epistemological assessment” Psychology consequent unification claim under banner approach (Zagaria et al., Integrative Psychological Behavioral Science, 54(3), 521–562, 2020 ) was deeply examined discussed. objections can be grouped into four main categories. We sum up argue why: 1) pre-paradigmatic status is problem rather than richness perspectives; 2) EP's criticisms stem from common misconceptions—furthermore, psyche might find their natural explanation EP; 3) EP does not wipe out emergence context as something qualitatively different; 4) meta-theory incompatible with subjectivity. Evolutionary approached caution curiosity, prejudicial concepts. Incorporating some legitimate cultural criticisms, may aspire become “cultural psychology”, hence an integrative psychological that tries connect biological “plane existence” (Henriques, Review General Psychology, 7(2), 150–182, 2003) existence”. However, basic philosophical concern has yet answered, i.e. what ultimately constitutes mind thus “psycho-logical” science. when trying answer know where look at.
