| Summary: | "The subject matter of scientific psychology is the world of real objects and real activities. Its methods are those of all science. Scientific psychology is no new invention, but is a legitimate development from the older psychology which it cannot avoid supplanting, and as such it embodies the achievements of the psychologists from Aristotle to the present generation. With "new psychologies" and with revolts against the essential facts of psychology, scientific psychology has no affiliation, although it represents real progress, and although its postulates in regard to consciousness differ essentially from those of the past. The psychology of today is a science of the conscious responses of the organism. This book, being designed for the specific purpose of introducing the student to the elements of psychology, and giving him a firm ground on which to build, deals with the general problems of psychology only. While written primarily for college students, the book is also designed to be of assistance to men in various professions who wish to become conversant with the foundations of modern psychology"--Preface.
