Problem:
As we will see at the start of the next chapter, psychology's history is as old as humanity. Although we will consider briefly what came before, this book's coverage of the history of psychology starts in earnest with the ancient Greeks. The data of history is often fragile and that limits what we can say about the distant past. In part then, the pre-Socratic Greeks are simply where we first have enough material to rightfully begin. But these early Greek explanations of human behavior and thought processes are also the ones that Western philosophers and psychologists have been reacting to ever since. Need Assignment Help?
