This course is for the "seeker" in you: your need to know, your willingness to self-examine, your restless curiosity about the world around you. If you?ve ever wanted to understand more about your emotions, your cognitive thinking skills, and other traits that make you uniquely human, then experience The Great Ideas of Psychology.
This is a fascinating and provocative course-a joyride of ideas, speculations, and point-blank moral questions that might just dismantle and rebuild everything you once thought you knew about psychology-not just what psychology is, but even if it is!
To listen to these lectures is to hear the entire history of psychology unfold and to know that the subject most of us today associate with names like Sigmund Freud and B. F. Skinner really began thousands of years earlier.
You?ll meet Freud, Skinner, Jung, Watson, Piaget, Erikson, and other figures of the modern history of psychology. But you?ll also encounter Plato and Aristotle. Locke and Hume. Bacon, Newton, Galileo, and Descartes. You?ll sail to the Galapagos Islands with Darwin. Share an intimate correspondence between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Psychologists all.
Indeed the lectures embrace so diverse a spectrum of thinkers and subjects that you might find it hard to believe you?re taking just a "psychology" course.
