Excerpt from Essentials of Psychology

Standpoint. Professor Ward states in his article on psychology that the subject can best be defined by its standpoint. The several physical sciences are Objective in their nature in the sense that the objects of their investigation are open to the scrutiny and inquiry of all. They are, in a sense, public property; but mental states, the subject - matter of psychology, are open only to the View of the individuals concerned. A can know directly only his own mental states, and not those of his friend B. A conscious state is a part of an individual's conscious ness. It belongs to a self and a self alone. It is an item in a stream of thought which is the individual's own possession; or, as Locke puts it, The scene of ideas making up one man's thoughts cannot be laid open to the immediate view of another.' In this sense, psycho logy is said to be individualistic in its nature.

In another sense, the scope of psychology is, indirectly, universal. In a way it has to do with all experience. In this sense 'the Whole choir of heaven and furniture of earth in so far as they are presentations to a subject, are related to the subject-matter of psychology.

Methods. What are the methods specially suited to the investigation of the problem Of psychology How can we ascertain best the laws according to which con scious phenomena rise and grow?
