试论后现代主义思潮与后现代心理学

后现代主义思潮是一种具有多元性又具有某种一致性的思维方式,是一种企图解构和超越现代哲学和文化理念的思想潮流。它集中体现了西方哲人们对"现代"哲学的强烈不满情绪,同时也昭示了一种新的思维方式。这种思维方式以强调否定性、非中心化、不确定性、非连续性以及多元性为特征,而大胆的标新立异和彻底的反传统、反权威精神则是这种思维方式的灵魂。西方心理学存在的问题体现在以下几个方面:1.以实证主义为基础的研究思路;2.以机械论、还原论和自然论为基础的"人性假设";3.纯科学的价值中立观点。后现代心理学的观点主要有:放弃追求普适性,承认历史性和具体性;批评惟一性,提倡多元性和差异性;坚持心理学的中间学科地位。
