Science insights:

1- Positivist theory:

There is a real material universe standing outside of us. Everything in this material universe is governed by the laws of nature. If there is a truth in nature, it has a quantity and we can measure that quantity. Science tries to find the laws of nature by measuring these facts.

2- Post-positivist theory:

Reality is socially constituted. Accordingly, the task of the scientist is not to analyze the outside world, but to interpret and analyze the meanings that people ascribe to their own experiences.

3- Critical theory:

The scientist's task is not to understand and describe, but to question and change. The legitimacy of power, equality, oppression, the right to speak, ideology, power, participation, representation, participation and interests are among the concepts that critical theory considers important.

I definitely have been heavily leaning into post positivist philosophy these days 🔥

I'm in critical theory. I think since I was born.. 😂😂😂

I accept post positivist philosophy idea that reslity is social constituted.

And I'm trying tomrrplace this reslity with critical theory 🧐😊

I need to get into more critical theory do you have any recommendations?

Nagihan Saka 2y ago

Yes. There are also textbooks that I bought at university 20 years ago. (e-book) There are also many other resources that I found later. But most of them are Turkish.

I'm in class now. I will find the English resources and send them as a drive link.

Now I want to send 1 of them:

The Psychology of Judgment and Decision Making - Scott Plous

Thank you so much you’re the best!! I love psychology so much

Nagihan Saka 2y ago

You're welcome :) I love psychology too.

In college, I took classes in critical thinking, judgment, and decision making. It has been the most important lesson of my life. Then I read a lot of resources on this subject.

We can chat a lot about it :)

I would love that! I am in the us and unable to go to college because I can’t qualify for public loans. But honestly my dream is to go into psychoanalysis. I love everything to do with psychology and am eager to learn more. Particularly about consciousness and early stage development.

Nagihan Saka 2y ago

You don't have to go to college. Yes, education is expensive there. It's easier in Turkiye. (It was easy 25 years ago). If I had been there, maybe I wouldn't have been able to go either.

I prepared a folder for you.

For now, I have added a few books.

By area of interest.

I will continue to add.

You can take a look at the same link a few hours later.

Thank you so much. My thirst for knowledge cannot be satisfied. I am a schizo-learner to borrow some possibly problematic language from D/G.

I want to learn psychology and I am confident I can gain a level of understanding that is quite high without a degree. It’s just a matter of being seen as qualified to be able to practice that’s the problem.

Thank you so much for your google drive folder. I don’t use google products too much but I will log in on my desktop in a few hours (after work) and check it out. I will be eagerly awaiting what you send 😌

Nagihan Saka 2y ago

You're welcome : )

If you knew Turkish, I would share all my digital book archives. : )

If you are using onedrive or yandex drive, I can add this folder there.

Yes, unfortunately they want a diploma to appear qualified. Even the university is not enough for us. In Turkey, a university diploma is now seen as a high school diploma. They also want master's and doctoral degrees.

After university, I did an internship for 2 years and took exams for 1 year to get the Certified Public Accountants license. They don't even see it in a master's degree.

If there is a book that interests you, if you send me the name, I will download it and add it to your folder.

or you can download the books from this link: https://libgen.is
