Two fields of interest are combined in this volume: the history of
science and the theory, or philosophy, of science (metascience).
The result is a history of psychology with emphasis placed upon a
metascientific analysis of the work of fourteen psychologists from
various periods.
Each analysis is set in historical context; a period or school is
discussed in each chapter, together with a metascientific analysis
of some major works from the respective period or school. The
author employs a metascientific descriptive system or
systematology' developed during more than 30 years of work on
comparative, metascientific studies of about 50 psychological
theories. The results of those studies have been published in
previous works.
These analyses are also used here for verifying T.S. Kuhn's
much-debated theory about the revolutionary' development of
sciences. The author revises Kuhn's theory and shows that it can be
applied to the history of psychology. Thus, in a Kuhnian sense,
psychology may be said to have had two normal periods' and two
periods of crisis' leading to school formation.
