Grundzüge der physiologischen Psychologie

Abstract

THIS volume of 553 pages is the first of the three volumes in which the fifth edition of Prof. Wundt's great work is to appear, The rapid increase in size of the work in each of the successive editions is thus maintained in the present one, and, as in the case of the previous editions, has been necessitated by the rapidity of the growth of the youngest of the natural sciences, experimental or, as Prof. Wundt prefers to call it, physiological psychology. And even the increase in bulk of this book does not by any means fully express the rate of growth of the science, a growth towards which this country has contributed so lamentably little. For the book is primarily a record of the work and the views of the author and of his pupils in the great Leipzig school. Nevertheless, Prof. Wundt has found it necessary to rewrite almost the whole of the book, so that, as he tells us, it must be regarded as almost a new one.
