“Historical and philosophical foundations for a scientific study of subjectivity”
Since the cognitive revolution in the 1950s, scientific psychology has defined itself by its exclusion of subjectivity and its reliance on pure behavioral or physiological data. This strategy has been incredibly powerful and yielded many great achievements in such diverse fields as perception, language, memory, attention, motor control and even in the study of emotions. However, it has been more and more recognized that this methodological restriction is, in and of itself, untenable in the long run. Indeed, human subjects do have a subjective mental life that has a causal role in their behavior. The most telling example of the re-admission of subjectivity in scientific psychology has been the constitution of the field of consciousness research. Since the 1990, following the pioneering works of Bernard Baars, Stanislas Dehaene, Ned Block, Daniel Dennett and Giulio Tononi, to name a few, the phenomenon of consciousness has been at the focus of a sustained investigation in cognitive sciences. This endeavor, that combines philosophy, psychology and neuroscience has yielded positive, and surprisingly consensual results. Yet, the study of subjective phenomena and the use of subjective responses in psychology is rife with very special challenges. In this first seminar, I will examine the main stages in the rejection and re-admission of subjectivity in scientific psychology (1950s / 2010s), and I will highlight the conceptual motivations for each turn of this complex history. This part will conclude by the presentation of a typology of subjective data that can be used in scientific psychology, along with a classification of the themes that can be studied within a scientific psychology of subjectivity.
