Considering two different views: one which I shall call correct namely the Misesian view that psych-ology is the study of the logic of what precedes action, not action itself but what mental processes lead to specific actions. Which makes me (as Bryan Kaplan has correctly pointed out in his essay why I am not an Austrian economist) a behavioralist (reward and punishment)despite not being a determinist (only in the extremes, very few people will not respond to physical torture) and the horrible hodgepodge of rubbish of freudianism-jungianism all the way to their most reformed branch cognitive psychology. Nietzsche´s statement that he was the first philosopher to be also a great psychologist become extremely haunting considering his sociological analysis of the origins of morality.
