From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi! I'm a student of
psychology and
philosophy living in
New York City. I am a long-time user but very new editor of
Wikipedia.
In psychology, my interests include:
- The development of
altruism,
cooperation, and other pro-social behaviors
- The biological bases of normal and abnormal behavior
- Whether the existence and workings of human
consciousness can ever be explained scientifically
- The psychological
sequelae of
human rights-related trauma (usually
torture), and their treatment
- The
ethical implications of strict adherence to a given theoretical orientation in a therapeutic setting
- The border between clinical and subclinical symptomology, especially in the
personality disorders
In philosophy, I'm most interested in
epistemology and
philosophy of science. I identify closely with the philosophy of
David Hume.
Please feel free to
