Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Functional Psychology

The problem of elementary psychology lies not in the discovery of new facts, nor in the detailed description of mental processes; but in the recognition of the mental processes that the student has been experiencing all his life, their orderly interpretation, and the perception of the relations that they hold to each other. Like the man who after years of study of literature was surprised to find that he had been talking prose all his life, so the student of psychology must awaken to the fact, even though it be with surprise, that he has been studying psychology, or gathering data for it, throughout all the years of his existence. Unless the student arrives at such a conclusion, the teaching cannot be commended.
