The Great Ideas of Psychology
This course is for the "seeker" in you: your need to know, your willingn
ess
to self-examine, your restless curiosity about the world around you.
If you ve ever wanted to understand more about your emotions, your cogniti
ve
thinking skills, and other traits that make you uniquely human, then
experience The Great Ideas of Psychology.
This is a fascinating and provocative course -- a joyride of ideas,
speculations, and point-blank moral questions that might just dismantle
and
rebuild everything you once thought you knew about psychology -- not jus
t what
psychology is, but even if it is!
To listen to these lectures is to hear the entire history of psychology
unfold and to know that the subject most of us today associate with name
s
like Sigmund Freud and B. F. Skinner really began thousands of years
earlier.
You ll meet Freud, Skinner, Jung, Watson, Piaget, Erikson, and other figur
es
of the modern history of psychology. But you ll also encounter Plato and
Aristotle. Locke and Hume. Bacon, Newton, Galileo, and Descartes. You ll
sail to the Galapagos Islands with Darwin. Share an intimate corresponde
nce
between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Psychologists all.
Indeed the lectures embrace so diverse a spectrum of thinkers and subjec
ts
that you might find it hard to believe you re taking just a "psychology"
course.
