This paper principally discusses how the empirical psychology, psychiatry as an example, is based on the philosophical level of phenomenology. It is in general to explore the philosophical level which the empirical level certainly has presupposed, but not yet explicated. The purpose of the article is to argue that the psychological research should be based on the level of value or that of the meaning of “Being” which Heidegger’s philosophy has disclosed. Of course, this proposition needs to be further examined and inspected. The article starts with an observation on the genesis of DSM, which is based on reliability, and that of the doctor/patient relationship as well as the medicare environment established by the DSM, and it is followed by a philosophical reflection on the theory proposed. Then it continues to make an ontological reflection on the epistemological truth of validity from which Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology is oriented, and to explain in detail the ontological truth of value which Heidegger’s phenomenology stresses. In the next section, a Hungarian scholar’s interpretation of Heidegger’s thinking on the meaning of value is introduced. In the last part, the article will review Heidegger’s reflection on the methodology of modern psychiatry. This paper concludes: The essential difference between quantitative and qualitative research methods of the psychology lies in the different understandings about philosophical truth; and their difference can be shown by the variable emphasis upon reliability, validity or value. It should be kept in mind that the conditions of possibility of reliability, validity and value in the life-world that would generate meanings may be limited to the philosophical and ontological level, while the empirical level and the relationship between both levels are topics that can be further explored. |
