Literary notes about psychological (AI summary)
The term "psychological" is deployed in literature to capture both tangible strategies and abstract qualities of human thought. In some works it qualifies specific tactics such as warfare, where mental operations are as critical as physical ones in shaping behavior and outcomes [1], [2], [3]. Elsewhere it functions to probe internal states and to frame debates about human character and sociological dynamics, whether discussing the intrinsic mental traits underpinning criminal investigation [4], [5] or reflecting on subjective perceptions and inner narratives [6], [7]. Moreover, "psychological" figures in analyses that span from scientific inquiry into consciousness [8] to a broader cultural critique of phenomena, capturing an interplay between mind and matter that informs both philosophical and practical concerns [9], [10].
