From Philosophy to Psychology: Tracing the Evolution of Mind Science
Mind-Maps
The following three distinct mind-maps together present an integrated visual exploration of the transition from early philosophical thought to the establishment of psychology as a scientific discipline. The content is organized through three mind maps that trace the evolution from the philosophical contributions of Plato, Aristotle, and Descartes to the rise of scientific psychology with figures like Wilhelm Wundt, William James, and B.F. Skinner. Key psychological schools, such as Structuralism, Functionalism, and Behaviorism, are explored alongside modern developments like Cognitive Psychology. Emphasizing the interdisciplinary roots of psychology, the document underscores its transformation into an empirical science. The philosophical origins and key figures of early psychology are highlighted, marking the gradual shift toward understanding mind and behavior through experimentation and observation.
