Basic Writings in the History of PsychologyRobert Irving Watson Oxford University Press, 1979 - 420 من الصفحات "Learning what eminent contributors have had to say in their own words about psychological matters is essential for understanding the history of psychology. This book is the product of Dr. Watson's well-known conviction that to understand psychology one must grasp its history, and that to grasp its history one must return to the words of those who made it. Including readings from fifty of the most eminent contributors to psychology, he has assembled in this text-reader excerpts which are representative of the historical development of psychology from the Renaissance to the present. The contributors range in time from Descartes, Locke, Hume, Kant, and Darwin, through Adler, Tolman, Guthrie, Hull, and Skinner. The selections chosen are those most widely accepted as seminal contributions to the field, thus providing students with optimum educational value. A chronological presentation serves to illustrate the influence of earlier theories on those which followed, while the editor has provided succinct commentary preceding each excerpt. Each reading is then followed by an editorial examination of its significance in relation to the historical development of psychology."-- |
