Question: Who's philosophy would be most applicable to psychology, in particular developmental psychology!?
I did a philosophy class at school and we barely learnt anything, however i need to do a presentation on a philosopher we supposedly learnt about in my psychology class, who do you suggest (i can research them myself so hopefully it wont take you too much time!)
e!.g!. 'i found !.!.!.!.'s philosophy extremely interesting, and it relates to !.!.!. in psychology' but obviously i would structure it a little more intellectually!
oh also sorry my question doesnt really make sense but hopefully the explanation does!Www@QuestionHome@Com

(Griffiths, 1997); (Prinz, 2004a)), consciousness (e!.g!., (Block, 1995), Block, forthcoming; Chalmers, 1996,
(Chalmers, 2004); (No?, 2004)), perception (e!.g!., (Jacob & Jeannerod, 2003); (No?, 2004))
psychopathology (e!.g!., Murphy, 2007), moral psychology (e!.g!., Doris, 2002; (Nichols, 2004); Doris &
Stich, 2006; Prinz, 2007), the relation between language and thought (e!.g!., (Carruthers, 2006)), and the
scientific value of evolutionary psychology (e!.g!., (Buller, 2005); (Machery & Barrett, 2006); (Machery,
