I am currently browsing the millions of books in the Berlin state library. They
have so many books that they are a "closed stack" library where you have to
order every book you want to read (unlike most open-stack university
libraries). One of the books I have stumbled upon today is named "Turning
Psychology into a Social Science" by Bernard Guerin, a professor of psychology
at the University of Southern Australia in Adelaide.The idea in his book is to
focus on the social interactions that determine the behavior and shape human
actions. Similar to the fundamental idea we have discussed earlier that
subjective experience can be understood by the particular slice of the world
someone has perceived. IIRC it was this discussion that made me think that
cinemas are just machines to solve the hard problem of consciousness: they show
us what it is like to be someone else by revealing us all the essential social
interactions and contexts that shaped the behavior of a person.Looking forward
to read Guerin's book. Made some new ideas in it...-J.
