Chapter 1 – psychology and the ancients
[Pages:38]CHAPTER 1 ? PSYCHOLOGY AND THE ANCIENTS
Dr. Nancy Alvarado
"A long past but a short history"
Ebbinghaus said this because psychology's questions go back to the ancients (Egypt, Greece, Rome).
Thinking about psychological topics has been around a long time, but not the discipline of psychology.
Psychology emerged from the disciplines of philosophy and natural science.
Philosophy and science in Western civilization are rooted in the ancients.
We study Western ideas because we are Western.
