PSYC 488 - History & Systems of Psychology
Major areas of psychology will be traced from their origins in early Greek philosophy; survival through the dogmas of the Dark and Middle ages; and their post-Renaissance emergence as principles of behavior distinct from philosophy. Emphasis will be on the evolution of scientific psychological thinking from ‘devil theory’ to classical empiricism, and from the Aristotelian method to the Galilean mode of empirical science. This is a project- and writing-intensive course that serves as a capstone course and involves assessment of majors’ mastery of both content and reasoning skills in psychology.
