Psychology as a basic science. ~==~=~=====~=
Which is its universe for research? ~~~=~~~~======J
The status of psychology as a science is examined from the ~=ERI=OMMMFK=i~=~=~~==
viewpoint of its subject matter and knowledge levels. Prevai- ==uu==~=~~~=~W
ling confusion in the employment of dierent types of lan-
guage, ordinary language, among them, is also examined. NK= `= = = ~= = ~= J
An analysis of scientific knowledge involving five stages, ~= ~= E= ~FI= = =
