Origins of
Psychology
- although Greek philosophers did not rely
on systematic study, they did set the
stage for the development of the sciences,
including psychology, through their
reliance on observation as a means of
knowing their world
- the individuals of the Renaissance
were beginning to refine the modern
concept of experimentation through
observation
- dualism: the concept that the mind and
body are separate and distiinct
- "Modern science began to emerge by combining
philosophers reflections, logic, and mathematics
with the observations and inventiveness of
practical people." -Hilgard, 1987
- By the 19th century, biologists had announced
the discovery of cells as the building block of life
- After that came the periodic table
of elements, and physicists made
great progress in furthering our
understandings of atomic forces
- it was in this environment- natural scientists
studying complex phenomena by reducing them to
simpler parts- that the science of psychology was
formed
