Its purpose is to ask why history should be of concern to psychologists in teaching and research, and in theory and in practice. The future position of humanities subjects is currently highly debated on all fronts. Chapters focus on the arguments from psychologists, upgrade the precision and quality of discussion, and thus, provide a base for affirming the place of history of psychology in the broad field of psychological activity. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA fundamental question dominates the discussion. Is the purpose of the history of psychology to serve current psychology, rather than to contribute to historical knowledge – and to enter large debates about what historical knowledge means for being human? If the answer is yes, as most psychologists who come to the issues will presume, in what ways?  Are these ways philosophically grounded, or do the social and political conditionsof power and funding in universities dominate the arguments? In this volume, the contributors demonstrate the relation between historical investigations and current practice. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFeatured topics include: \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe history of psychology and its relation to feminism.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe history of psychology and its relation to current research assessment and curriculum. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe history of science and its relation to psychology. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe metalanguage for psychology.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase studies of history in theory construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eCentrality of History for Theory Construction in Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to psychologists, professors, graduate psychology students, and scholars in the human sciences.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-11-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319427591\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-42760-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 248\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44806326616204,"sku":"9783319427591","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319427591.jpg?v=1773278716","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319427591","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
