> Uh, I said a different man entirely. The quotation I was referring to was Professor R. H. Shevenell summing up Descartes' influence by saying:
> "With Descartes, psychology lost its soul and found its mind:But but but... For Descartes the mind JUST WAS the soul. And he didn't lose it exactly... It is right there, you know, in the immaterial mind-stuff :-)
>with British Empiricists, soul lost its mind and found its consciousness: with Watson and the Behaviorists, soul lost its consciousness and found is reflexes."
Oh. I hadn't heard of that quote.....
Interesting...
> Uh, I think you need to do another question. Yours didn't really get answered, IMHO.Oh no you don't.
Please don't make me come up with another question.
I'm no good at that.
Your quote was verrrrrrrrrrrrrry similar.
Close enough IMO.
Though... To be picky... Descartes (rationalism) and Locke, Berkely, Hume (empiricists) are more schools in the history of early modern philosophy than in psychology...But thats ok ;-)
