History of psychology and philosophy

greenspun.com : LUSENET : History & Theory of Psychology : One Thread

Can anybody help me in finding out the main points to deal with on how philosophical debates from the renaissance onwards influenced specific movements in psychology?

Thankyou Sarah.

This is, of course, a far more complex question than can be dealt with here in any detail, but I strongly recommend that you have a look at the second half of Daniel Robinson's _Intellectual History of Psychology_. The 2nd ed. is better than the 3rd, if you can find it.
