You are a practicing clinical psychologist and researcher. You and your colleagues become aware that quite a few people from different backgrounds and cultures have been reporting an unusual experience—being abducted by aliens during the night, taken to alien spacecraft, and eventually returned to their beds before morning.
If psychology, as you know it, was based on, for example, Plato’s epistemology, what could you hope to learn (what is in principle knowable) about this situation? How would you conceptualize these reports of alien abduction? What hypothesis might you propose initially? What can’t you know from the standpoint of your epistemology? How would that matter to your ability to do research or therapy with one of these individuals?
Your initial post should address one or more of the questions in the above paragraph, speaking as the scholar you’ve been assigned to portray. Please limit that post to no more than 100-150 words. Stick to the lectures, primary readings, and textbook as your sources, and cite your source(s). Remember to make clear that you are, e.g., Plato or Locke, etc., and remember to stay in character throughout the week as that person.
After your initial post, which you should aim to complete by, respond to two others’ posts before. Choose two individuals who are not playing the same role you are but instead are posting as two other scholars from the list of six.
Role chosen: Francis Bacon
