    Wilhelm Wundt is widely recognized as a founder of modern experimental psychology. One of his many contributions was to help establish the Leipzig Institute for Experimental Psychology - the first graduate program in the field - in 1879, the centennial celebration of which resulted in a number of studies including Wilhelm Wundt and the Making of a Scientific Psychology . In an extensive revision of this important book, first published by Plenum in 1980, a distinguished roster of contributors reconsider this much heralded `founding father' of modern psychology.

    Wilhelm Wundt in history
  • This book presents new insights into Freud’s famous “discovery” of the unconscious and the subsequent development of psychoanalytic theories. The authors explore the original context in which these ideas arose and the central debate about mind as matter or something that transcends matter. In the course of this examination, it is demonstrated that Freud was influenced not only by the 19th century scientific milieu, but also by ancient cultures. While it is known that Freud was an avid collector of ancient artifacts and generally interested in these older cultures, this book systematically investigates their profound effect on his thinking and theorizing. Two major influences, Egyptian mythology and Jewish mysticism are analyzed in terms of similarities to Freud’s emerging ideas about the mind and its diseases.

    Exploring the concept of human wickedness, this book critiques two significant obstacles: inappropriate scientism and moralism. It argues that a misguided scientific perspective diminishes the acknowledgment of human agency in global events, treating human behavior as merely a response to external factors. This framework neglects the potential for individual and collective decisions to shape conduct, suggesting that moral responsibility is essential for understanding human actions. The work invites readers to reconsider the interplay between human agency and external influences.

    Exploring the concept of perceptgenesis, Professor Gudmund Smith and his colleagues challenge traditional views in psychology by documenting subjective phases in perception. They argue that feelings, meanings, and recognition are integral to the perceptual process, rather than mere responses to external stimuli. This radical perspective questions the objectivity and realism typically upheld in psychological studies, suggesting that perception involves assembling sensory experiences linked to memory before being projected back into the world. Smith's innovative methods provide a deeper understanding of how we perceive objects.
