Personality and naturalistic positions in scientific history

Reference no: EM1310421

In this assignment, you will focus on the debate between the personality and naturalistic positions in scientific history, and how the concept of zeitgeist relates to each of these concepts. You will apply these concepts to the philosophical viewpoints that directly preceded the emergence of modern psychology.

Prepare a paper in which you define the personalistic and naturalistic positions in scientific history, and how the concept of zeitgeist relates to these positions. Then, choose one of the following philosophers to focus on Descartes, Comte, Berkeley, Hume, Hartley, James Mill, or John Stuart Mill and explain why you think the emergence of his ideas is best described by the personalistic or naturalistic position. Include in your submission a sample of the grid (see Heads up on the Signature Assignment) or other note-taking tool that you plan to use as you analyze key ideas in the history of psychology throughout this course.

Support your paper with at least one scholarly reference. Your first stop in looking for additional references should be the library guide developed for you for use in this course.
