PSYC 488B History and Systems
488. HISTORY AND SYSTEMS (Credit, 3
hours). This course presents a survey of
modern psychology as a natural science. Traditional
analyses of theoretical frames of reference to psychological
phenomena will occur within a larger context
of both the major western philosophical precursors of
scientific method (i.e., European empiricism) as well
as philosophical systems of other cultures. Alternative
¿psychologies¿ which could or in fact have arisen from
non-Eurocentric points of view will be explored.
