    I was trying to connect these two subjects: Psychology and Philosophy, and I was wondering if they do have more similarities or difference.

    In their difference, Philosophy looks into areas such as life after death through questions and answers and will never produce a single correct answer while Psychology uses scientific methods to test their assumptions in understanding human behaviour.

    Again, both philosophy and psychology are interested in the philosophy of mind.

    They are different disciplines, but I think there are similarities just as there are differences. What is your take on their similarities?

    Can we say they are more different or more similar?

    Differences between the two practices.


    Philosophy arguably underpins all sciences, including, psychology, and thus both disciplines overlap to some extent. However, although both bodies of knowledge examine people and life, the aspects of each discipline focuses on,is considerably different. That is why philosophy attempts to understand the existence of human life, psychology attempts to understand human behavior.
