ECOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY

To study Ecological Psychology is to study the relation between knower and known. Because every other discipline, by definition, begins with an epistemic agent (the knower), and an intentional object of knowledge (the known) as well as the explicitly or implicitly held epistemological or ontological assumptions that go with them, however they are construed, ecological psychology, which is just the study of these things, can appropriately be thought of as the most fundamental of all disciplines. In this role it forms a fundamental bridge between, both drawing from and informing, what are otherewise usually taken as separate and usually incommensurate disciplines such as physics, biology, evolutionary theory, and cognitive theory.
