Identify philosophers that historically relate to the beginnings of psychology as a formal discipline.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper in which you discuss the roots in early philosophy leading into the 19th century that influenced the development of modern psychology. Include the following:

 

• Identify philosophers that historically relate to the beginnings of psychology as a formal discipline.

 

• Identify major philosophers in the western tradition that were primary contributors to the formation of psychology as a discipline.

 

• Explore the development of the science of psychology during the 19th century.

 

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Provide in-text citations of two peer reviewed references to support key points in your paper. This does not mean to have peers review your paper! This means to use and cite sources that are peer-reviewed. Experts in the field have reviewed the information and the article has not been written just to sell a paper or magazine. There are specific guidelines for determining peer-reviewed material. Select the option when you filter for information in searches of keywords in the library.

 

In a reference list, provided at least two peer reviewed references (not Wikipedia, Encarta nor blogs). This requirement is not satisfied with the use of the textbook.  Hint: remember that only references used in the in-text citations may be listed in the reference page.
