| You don't think the way you think you think. The psychology of biases and rationalizations._ | |||
|
What's this all about? This website is devoted to one of the most fascinating topics in psychology: irrationality and rationalizations. In everyday life, people think a lot of about what's rational and what's a rationalization. But in psychology, researchers actually experiment to find the answers, and their answers can tell us new and surprising things about ourselves. The research also provides new ideas and applications for philosophy. Questions about the nature of thought, the subjective and objective, and other traditional topics get new life through psychology. The report on rationalizations was first prepared for a university program in philosophy, and is meant to provide an introduction to this fascinating field. Enjoy! I want to email you.

"What is most important is not dispelling particular erroneous
beliefs, but creating an understanding of how we form erroneous beliefs."
