Within psychology, epistemology is treated by many scholars explicitly or implicitly as a default first principle. Within this special section, this positioning is brought into question. Contributors consider broadening the philosophical foundations of our discipline to also overtly include ethical, existential, and cosmological concerns alongside epistemology considerations. We present five articles that each showcase very different approaches in the reimagining of the philosophical principles of psychology. Although different in many ways, these contributions also share key similarities in advocating for the more meaningful inclusion of ethics within broader processes of knowledge production and implementation.

在心理学中，认识论被许多学者显式或隐式地视为默认的第一原理。在这个特殊的部分中，这种定位受到质疑。贡献者考虑拓宽本学科的哲学基础，以公然地将伦理学，生存论和宇宙学方面的问题与认识论方面的考虑包括在内。我们提供五篇文章，每篇文章都展示了在重新构想心理学的哲学原理方面截然不同的方法。尽管在许多方面有所不同，但这些主张在提倡将道德更有意义地纳入更广泛的知识生产和实施过程中时，也具有关键的相似之处。
