It is with great pleasure that I was able to talk to five of the greatest psychiatric minds William James, John Dewey, Charles Darwin, G. Stanley Hall, and Leta Stetter Hollingsworth. These five psychiatrists contribute majorly to the field of psychology. I was blessed with the chance to be able to ask each of them a question. Allowing me to see these great thinkers in their element of greatness.
I started by asking William James – born in New York city in the year of 1842, and considered the “Father of American Psychology”, graduated from Harvard’s Medical School in 1869.
I asked him what he considered to be the proper subject matter of psychology.
He responded that the proper subject matter is human behavior. The study of:
• Truth
• theory of knowledge
• pragmatism
The opposing of introspection of structuralism, the mental breakdown of the smallest elements of events, environmental behavior. The knowing of how to overlook the inevitable whether you want to or not.
The knowing that there are two major parts of the environmental behavior:
Classicism- is the effects as coarse and tawdry, and preferring the naked beauty of the optical and auditory sensations.
• Romanticism- immediate
