Social and Ethical Interpretations in Mental Development


Book Description

Excerpt from Social and Ethical Interpretations in Mental Development: A Study in Social Psychology This volume is a continuation of the studies in genetic psychology begun in my Mental Development in the Child and the Race, As was announced in the earlier work, I had intended to publish the volume of 'Interpretations' under the same general heading of 'Mental Development' and to include in it certain educational 'Interpretations' also. It seems best, however, for the sake of unity of treatment in this volume, - and also on account of its size, - to omit the educational matter for the present, and also to make this volume quite independent of the former work, except in so far as the natural connection requires somewhat frequent reference to it. This departure from my original plan also enables me to include in Part II. certain chapters which were written with reference to the question set by the Royal Academy of Denmark.
