1. Yes it is, or at least was. It’s a branch of psychology that developed into a science its own right. Just as physics was once “natural philosophy”. Epistemologically however neuroscience does still fall under the umbrella term of psychology.
- luffapi 5y agoThat’s like saying alchemy is science because chemistry developed from it. If it has no reproducibility, it’s not science it’s speculation.
- rusk 5y agoNo it’s not and this comparison is facetious. Nobody practices alchemy as a mainstream science in 2021. There are plenty of people doing astrology for instance but in a clinical setting? In funded university programs? Producing papers that can be openly challenged? I don’t think so. Again facetious.
- luffapi 5y agoThat’s not a meaningful metric. Plenty of people doing astrology in 2021. That doesn’t make it real.
