ABSTRACT

This chapter proposes an integrated, holistic and systematic theory of our lived experience, and offeres a psychological foundation for the Science of Everyday Life thereby. As important a direction for the Science of Everyday Life to take is to extend the foundation presented here toward a more explicit theory of society and social interaction. Life includes pathologies, so a vital direction for the Science of Everyday Life to take in the future is to give an account of such pathologies. In particular, one set of phenomena it would be very interesting to approach with the theory proposed here is the set of psychopathologies. Architecture of mind demonstrates that many of the observed phenomena of behaviour are not particular and disconnected, but rather it explains and predicts them as natural aspects of a common structure to thought and decision making. It permits social factors to influence psychology and behaviour.
