| Construction of the entity theory and the study of meta-theory are the two mainly researches in the field of theoretical psychology. Entity theory is a framework to explain on the mental phenomenon, psychological facts and laws of action. Meta-theory is a reflection and criticism to Entity theory from the interpretation, the evaluation, the choice and the construction of the theory, and it is an explanation and reconstruction to psychology theory in a higher level. This reflective study of meta-theory has inspiration value to reveal the nature, rational scope, the choice and the building strategy of psychology. And the psychological researches of more than 100 years have accumulated a large amount of entity theory, which has made a significant contribution for the development of psychology. At the same time, there is less respect on some issues, such as the relationship between the entity theory, the respective standards and frameworks, and the place which should be in the psychological research; it related the current split of the psychology. The study of meta-theory of psychology makes up the congenitally deficient; it has great value for the reunification of the psychology.K. B. Madsen is a professor of Fundamentals of psychology, school psychologists and experts in education and training in the Royal Danish Academy of General Education, and achieves a wide range of national acclaim in Denmark. He is the first psychologist who built a framework to explain psychological theory (meta-theory of psychology) and used it re-analysis the existing theoretical framework (meta-theory analysis of the psychological theory). Its meta-theory system is based on the criticizing and inheriting of Kuhn's Paradigm Theory. He believes that the Kuhn's theory is on the scientific development, and lack of theories on the structure of the scientific theory. Through the comparative analysis inter-50 representing different schools of psychology during 1930-1980, Madsen tries building up a meta-theoretical framework to explain psychological theory and make up Kuhn's theory.Madsen constructed an explaining framework of psychological theory from three aspects: the Meta level, the assumption level and the date level, at the same time, he used his own meta-theory framework to analyze the school of psychology, such as psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and cognitive psychology in meta-theory level. In addition to, by Meta analysis, he created a new mode to complicate the history of psychology. Taking Skinner's theory as an example, he used the meta-theory system to reanalyze the schools of psychology, and summed up a book, which became a new model to complicate the history of psychology.Madsen firstly constructed an explaining framework of psychological theory from three sides: the Meta level, the assumption level and the date level, and used his meta-theory framework to analyze the school of psychology, created a new model to complicate the history of psychology; the study has important created value. It has an important instructive value to clarify basic theoretical point of view of the various schools and deepen people's understanding of the school of psychology. However, his study merely describes the level; it can not fundamentally be the viable frame of reference to the development of psychology. |
