<div>This SpringerBrief provides an interdisciplinary synthesis based on psychology, logic, mathematics, cognitive science, and the history of science. It presents psychology as a science that suffers from a reduced understanding of the most fundamental logic in our practical-bodily encounters with the world, including with our fellow human beings. The Brief offers a new “dual” logic that is based on the duality between identification and description of objects, including persons. The Brief ties in modern mathematics as a tool that can be used to catch this duality in a precise manner. </div><div><br/></div><div>Featured topics in this Brief include: </div><div><ul><li>The emergence of Mechanism.</li><li>The duality in animal and human subject-object relations.</li><li>Psychology’s compatibility with natural sciences.</li><li>Four cornerstones of modern mathematics.</li><li>The Extensional Method. </li></ul></div><div><i>A New Logical Foundation for Psychology</i> will be</div> of interest to psychologist, philosophers, and mathematicians concerned with basic theoretical and methodological problems. <div><br/></div><div></div><div></div>
