Introduction: Unknowability in Psychology and Social Science.
- Authors
Hirst, William
- Abstract
The article focuses on kama muta, a Sanskrit term for the social emotion that people might feel when they fall in love or when a cat curls up on their lap and science may study the neurobiology and psychological characteristics of kama muta, and people may experience. It mentions people may not go through life worrying much about the privacy of their conscious experience as explaining whether people share similar conscious experiences is, as the philosophers say on explanation of consciousness. It also mentions how social lenses determine what knowledge might be produced but also how they can promote ignorance.
