ABSTRACT
It appears that psychology has its origins in the private experience of people. When they comprehended that an outer world might exist independent of them and of their experience, that is, the so-called objective world, the task of understanding the inner or private ‘world’ arose. Thus the mind-body problem, for generations, has been one of the unresolved great questions. Reasonable as it seems to assume influences going from the outer to the inner world, the reverse, although an undeniable fact, somehow contradicts basic tenets of scientific wisdom of a materialistic era. But the problem is a pseudoproblem, because there are not two realms of reality to combine, but simply two ‘languages’ to translate between them.
