The beginnings of psychology are usually dated from experimental
psychology and Freudian psychoanalysis in the late nineteenth
century. Yet the period from 1700 to 1840 produced some highly
sophisticated psychological theorising that became central to
German intellectual and cultural life, well in advance of similar
developments in the English-speaking world. Matthew Bell explores
how this happened, by analysing the expressions of psychological
theory in Goethe"s Faust, Kant"s Critique of Pure Reason, and in
the works of Lessing, Schiller, Kleist and E. T. A. Hoffmann. This
study pays special attention to the role of the German literary
renaissance of the last third of the eighteenth century in bringing
psychological theory into popular consciousness and shaping its
transmission to the nineteenth century. All German texts are
translated into English, making this fascinating area of European
thought fully accessible to English readers for the first time.
