Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Psychology and Folk-Lore I am not sure whether these addresses, essays, and reviews are worth the republishing; but I hope that they are. To attend to one's subject during the War was not easy. Yet the very confusion of the times made thinking necessary, if only in order that the mind might keep its beatings during the storm. For the same reason one's thought tended to dwell on first principles. These are none too steadfast, to be sure, in such a new and complex science as anthropology. But to find them to be relatively stable, or at any rate to seek how they could be made so, proved comforting to me. In the hope, therefore, that others have also of late been examining foundations with similar results, I venture to appeal to their sympathetic attention. I apologize to any reader who is troubled by echoes of the spoken word in these pages. It is hard to turn a lecture into an article without taking half the life out of it; and so I have changed nothing, not even suppressing a few passages of an occasional character. Anyone with imagination can make the necessary allowances. The title is borrowed from the first paper, but provides a fair notion of the general scope of the book. The prevailing interest is throughout psychological; and whatever is not folk-lore in the strict sense belongs at least to anthropology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bawenda of the Spelonken (Transvaal): A Contribution Towards the Psychology and Folk-Lore of African Peoples The African Interior is still only in the earlier stages of civilised progress. Railways and telegraphs are making vast strides, but they have still to over take and develop enormous areas. The tourist and the trader, the explorer and the prospector, the pioneers of colonisation and enterprise, have after all but skimmed the surface of the Dark Continent, and have here and there lifted the veil of the mysterious and the magnificent. But the full volume of revelation and of interest is as yet in great part unopened, though the pace is ever quickening as the Cape Cairo Railroad advance proceeds, and the spinal cord of the Dark Continent is thus submitted to the-discoverer's eye and the analyst's assessments.

Download or read book Elements of Folk Psychology written by Wilhelm Max Wundt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Folk Psychology: Outlines of a Psychological History of the Development of Mankind The keen interest which the present age is manifesting in problems connected with the interpretation of human experi ence is no less a result than it is a' precondition of the fruitful labours of individual scholars. Prominent among these is the distinguished author of the volume which is herewith rendered accessible to English readers. The impetus which Professor Wundt has given to the philo sophical and psychological studies of recent years is a matter of common knowledge. Many, of those who are contributing richly, to these fields of thought received their stimulus from instruction directly enjoyed in the laboratory, and the classrooms of Leipzig. But even more thanto Wundt, the teacher, is the world indebted 'to Wundt, the investigator and the writer. The number and comprehen siveness of this author's publications, as well as their range of subjects, are little short of amazing. To gauge the extent of their influence would require an examination of a large part of current philosophical and psychological literature. N 0 small measure of this influence, however, must be credited to those whose labours have made possible the appearance of Wundt's writings in other tongues. Of the English' translations, we owe the first to Professors Creighton and Titchener. Succeeding their translation of the Lectures on Human and Animal Psychology, came the publication, in English, of the first volume of the Principles of Physio logical Psychology, of the two briefer treatises, Outlines of Psychology, and Introduction to Psychology, and, in the meantime, of the valuable work' on Ethics.

Download or read book The Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud written by and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 8099 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited Revised Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud (RSE) is founded on the canonical Standard Edition (SE) translation from the German by James Strachey, while adding a new layer of revisions and translations. Conceptual and lexicographic ambiguities are clarified inextensive new annotations. Drawing on established conventions and intellectual traditions, the Revised Standard Edition supplements Freud’s writing with substantial editorial commentaries addressing controversial technical terms and translation issues through the lens of modern scholarship—a living text in dialogue with itself and the reader. The RSE also includes 56 essays and letters which were not included in the SE. In the RSE text and footnotes a subtle underlining distinguishes, in an easy and accessible way, Mark Solms’s revisions and additions, from the historical translation and commentaries of James Strachey’s Standard Edition. Readers can examine what Strachey contributed before the revisions in tandem with Solms’s updates, new translations, annotations, and commentaries, collectively bringing Freud’s text and Strachey’s translation into dialogue with five decades of research, including the most recent developments in the field. Commissioned by the British Psychoanalytical Society and co-published by Rowman & Littlefield, the Revised Standard Edition brings together decades of scholarly deliberation concerning the translation of Freudian technical terms while retaining the best of Strachey’s original English translation.This landmark work will captivate a wide audience, from interested lay readers to practicing clinicians to scientists and scholars in fields related to psychoanalysis.
Download or read book Folk Psychological Narratives written by Daniel D. Hutto and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-08-24 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An argument that challenges the dominant "theory theory" and simulation theory approaches to folk psychology by claiming that our everyday understanding of intentional actions done for reasons is acquired by exposure to and engaging in specific kinds of narratives. Established wisdom in cognitive science holds that the everyday folk psychological abilities of humans—our capacity to understand intentional actions performed for reasons—are inherited from our evolutionary forebears. In Folk Psychological Narratives, Daniel Hutto challenges this view (held in somewhat different forms by the two dominant approaches, "theory theory" and simulation theory) and argues for the sociocultural basis of this familiar ability. He makes a detailed case for the idea that the way we make sense of intentional actions essentially involves the construction of narratives about particular persons. Moreover he argues that children acquire this practical skill only by being exposed to and engaging in a distinctive kind of narrative practice. Hutto calls this developmental proposal the narrative practice hypothesis (NPH). Its core claim is that direct encounters with stories about persons who act for reasons (that is, folk psychological narratives) supply children with both the basic structure of folk psychology and the norm-governed possibilities for wielding it in practice. In making a strong case for the as yet underexamined idea that our understanding of reasons may be socioculturally grounded, Hutto not only advances and explicates the claims of the NPH, but he also challenges certain widely held assumptions. In this way, Folk Psychological Narratives both clears conceptual space around the dominant approaches for an alternative and offers a groundbreaking proposal.
