Description:
The Outlines of Psychology is by far the best general introduction to the mature psychological views of Wilhelm Wundt. Reasons for this include its relative clarity, brevity, and the fact that Wundt wrote the book to provide students with 'a systematic survey of the fundamentally important results and doctrines of modern psychology.' In addition, the Outlines was also published to counter the rise, within his own laboratory, of a view of psychology that Wundt believed to be pernicious. As such it was written not only to lay out Wundt's views on fundamental issues but to make the rationale behind these views impeccably clear.
Publisher: Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Wilhelm Maximilian "Max" Wundt was a physician, physiologist, philosopher, and professor, considered today one of the founding figures of modern psychology and the "father of experimental psychology". In 1879, he founded the first formal laboratory for psychological research at the University of Leipzig, thus establishing psychology as a separate science from other topics. He also formed the first academic journal for psychological research, Philosophische Studien, in the year 1883.
