Did Kant believe that psychology could become a science? Why or why not?
Kant proposed a rationalist type of behavior that combines both innate faculties and sensory experiences. He had approachable influence on psychology and ensured that innate factors in the areas of language, perception, cognitive development and problem solving help in nurturing the growth and development of science.
Modern psychologists believed by the statement of Kant that brain structures majorly helps in the orientation goal towards changing the field of psychology into science. In the late 1800s, psychology rapidly emerged as an independent science but, Kant confirmed that psychology could not become an experimental science. He believed that psychology could be transformed into science according to rational tradition that has the capability of mathematical formulations but that was not present in the psychology.
Kant believed that psychology could not be fully accomplished with the goals of science that was based on the introspective analysis of mind. Thus, he adopted alternative way of studying humans that predict useful information about the behavior of people by the method of discipline known as anthropology.
