Excerpt from Present-Day Applications of Psychology: With Special Reference to Industry, Education and Nervous Breakdown

AT one time all systems of knowledge were embraced under the term Philosophy. From it long ago separated Natural Philosophy, the scientific study of living and lifeless matter, and more recently there has emerged as an independent science Mental Philosophy or (as it is now called) Psychology, the scientific study of the human and animal mind. Each of these two branches of Natural Science - physical and psychical science - has developed methods peculiarly its own. Each has come to be more or less independent of the common parent Philosophy, as each has become more or less exclusively devoted to systematic, concrete observation and experiment. The methods of modern (or, as it is inadequately termed, experimental) psychology have come to differ from those of physiology and from those of physics, because their aims and outlook are different.
