The Science Of Human Nature: A Psychology For Beginners ebook

by William Henry Pyle

You can not study human nature from a book, you must study yourself and your neighbors. This book has some of the basics for the psychology student or person interested in the topic.

You can not study human nature from a book, you must study yourself and your neighbors. This book may help you to know what to look for and to understand what you find, but it can do little more than this. It is true, this text gives you many facts learned by psychologists, but you must verify the statements, or at least see the You are beginning the study of human nature. Not bad for the price, but there are better resources out there.

What is human nature like? Why do we act as we do? How can we make ourselves different? . This book is a manual intended to help young people to obtain such knowledge of human nature as will enable them to answer these questions. I have not attempted to write a complete text on psychology. There are already many such books, and good ones too. I have selected for treatment only such topics as young students can study with interest and profit. I have tried to keep in mind all the time the practical worth of the matters discussed, and the ability and experience of the intended readers.

This book is a primer for psychology. It is for the classroom and dated. This book has some decent information on learning and other basic areas of psychology, however, the book seems to adhere to the behaviorist model of psychology throughout the book. For instance when the author writes about transference of learning he only talks about direct transference and not about more indirect transference of learning.

Author: William Henry Pyle. Release Date: May 31, 2006. start of this project gutenberg ebook the science of human nature . Produced by Kevin Handy, Suzanne Lybarger, Laura Wisewell. You can not study human nature from a book, you must study yourself and your neighbors. For a bit of knowledge to become a part of science, its relation to other bits of knowledge must be found. In botany, for example, bits of knowledge about plants do not make a science of botany.

by William Henry Pyle. Before attempting to define psychology, it will be helpful to make some inquiry into the nature of science in general. Science is knowledge; it is what we know. But mere knowledge is not science. To have a science of botany, we must not only know about leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, et. but we must know the relations of these parts and of all the parts of a plant to one another.

This is an old book from over 100 years ago. It was free on Kindle. I liked it, but the subject matter is dry and long-winded.

This book has some decent information on learning and other basic areas of psychology, however, the book seems to adhere to the behaviorist model of psychology throughout the book. For instance when the author writes about transference of learning he only talks about direct transference and not about more indirect transference of learning. Essentially the book views learning as a basic "stimulus-response" action where habits and schemas are formed simply by means of providing material and skills to be learned (srimulus) and drilling them into students' minds until learned (response) and providing reinforcements to learn the skills. It doesn't cover how certain elements of experience interact in the learning process and doesn't exactly give credence to critical thinking and hypothetical thought that a more structural or cognitive school of thought would provide. It oversimplifies learning in my opinion. Another issue I have with parts of the book is it reads too much like a philosophical text quite often rather than a scientific one and is filled with the author's opinions such as stating the most important moral values which is definitely a debatable topic. Maybe I'm criticizing it too much as it's meant as an introductory text, but I do not care for the oversimplification it appears to provide.

So far, I have yet to read a bad book about psychology, this one included. As with any subject, you glean the important information and let go the rest. I personally am not a Fruedian fan, but I believe he was a pioneer of a subject that we as a species have yet to come to understand in it's totality.
