Instead of Erklären and Verstehen: William James on Human Understanding
Between Peirce (1878) and James (1898): G. Stanley Hall, the origins of pragmatism, and the history of psychology
This article focuses on the 20-year gap between Charles S. Peirce's classic proposal of pragmatism in 1877-1878 and William James's equally classic call for pragmatism in 1898. It fills the gap by reviewing relevant developments in the work of Peirce and James and by introducing G. Stanley Hall, for the first time, as a figure in the history of pragmatism. In treating Hall and pragmatism, the article reveals a previously unnoted relation between …
Exploring the Interpersonal Relationships in Street-Based Male Sex Work: Results from an Australian Qualitative Study
While the literature on male sex work has increased significantly over the past decade, few studies examine the influence of relational dynamics in the lives of those engaged in male sex work. This qualitative study, conducted with a sample of male street sex workers in Sydney, Australia, explores how relationships color their involvement with sex work. The findings reveal the complexity of their relationships and how their interactions with othe…
G. Stanley Hall, a man of many words: The role of reading, speaking, and writing in his psychological work
The place of G. Stanley Hall within the history of psychology is both assured and problematic. While he is credited with significant contributions, those contributions are predominantly institutional rather than intellectual or scientific in nature. Further compounding the issue is the fact that those who focus on the development of psychology qua science have emphasized psychology's increasing reliance on empirical observations, its use of quant…

One big idea, one ultimate concern: Sigmund Koch's critique of psychology and hope for the future
One big idea, one ultimate concern: Sigmund Koch's critique of psychology and hope for the future
Sigmund Koch, best known for his critical analyses of psychological theory and practice, drew his pivotal insight and abiding concern from his conviction that the failure to sustain and advance human-centered inquiry and understanding (as opposed to rule-governed methodology and conclusions) is the root pathology of modern life. Inspired by the work of selected colleagues, creative artists, and disciplined connoisseurs of language (and, hence, of…

Telling likely stories: The rhetoric of the New Psychology, 1880-1920
This is a story about the New Psychologists who strove at the turn of the century to institutionalize a new science and to create a new set of professional roles. More particularly, it is about the rhetorical fabric they wove around the nascent science of psychology. The article focuses, one by one, on different strands of this fabric – on (1) what persuaded the first generation of American psychologists to take an interest in the New Psychology;…

The Fate and Influence of John Stuart Mill's Proposed Science of Ethology
The years between 1840 and 1940 constituted an important period in the history of the human sciences. During this period, under the impulse of cataclysmic social events and the inspiration of rapid development in the physical and biological sciences, the previously existing moral underwent radical development, and other new human sciences were proposed and formulated for the first time. In the early part of this crucial period in the history of t…

The Intentions and Heritage of Descartes and Locke: Toward a Recognition of the Moral Basis of Modern Psychology
Given the recent discussions about the proper stance of the American Psychological Association vis-à-vis a wide range of moral issues, it might be useful to reflect upon the historical foundations of contemporary psychology. This article reviews this history from the seventeenth century to the present, placing special emphasis upon the role that moral concerns played in the development of all the modern sciences of man, including psychology. It p…

The philosophical development of the conception of psychology in Germany, 1780-1850
Although it is generally acknowledged that the modern science of psychology was produced in the mid-nineteenth century by the cross-fertilization of philosophy and physiology, few historians have tried to specify the exact role of philosophers in the evolution of modern psychology. The purpose of this article is to identify one important line of development from within early-nineteenth-century German philosophy toward the conception of psychology…
Wundt and after: Psychology's shifting relations with the natural sciences, social sciences, and philosophy
Over the past one hundred years psychology has evolved into a major scientific discipline. Nonetheless, psychology is presently in a state of considerable turmoil regarding its proper subject matter and methods. Is psychology a natural science, a social science, or a hybrid of the two?What relation should psychology maintain with philosophy? These general questions, currently under debate, were addressed by Wilhelm Wundt, one of the founders of m…

The historical foundation of Herbart's mathematization of psychology
Herbart's mathematization of psychology is an important landmark in the history of psychology. The purpose of this article is to describe the general landscape within which this landmark was created and the specific foundation upon which it was erected. Besides Kant's classic statements on the nature of science, the “external” landscape included other landmarks in the historical quest for a mathematical science of man, while the “internal” founda…
