Abstract

This paper compares structuralistic psychology and vipassana meditation of Buddhism. Both aim to understand the human mind and emphasize observation of consciousness as the methodology. The present paper introduces consciousness and observation of consciousness, which are dealt with in each approach, and discusses the similarities and differences between them. Finally, examining the meaning of the comparison, the importance of complementary acceptance of psychology as science (or scientific understanding) and psychology as experience (or experiential understanding) is discussed.
