Outlines for Experimental Psychology (1914) Book

Wow. He didn’t cut any corners in his explanations and arguments. This tomb is incredibly detailed and surprisingly really witty throughout thanks to that Victorian stiff upper lip bourgeois style of thinking. You can tell he absolutely loves his field, and work and is vibing on thinking through every single principle of psychology that he can come up. James is so incredibly well read and seems to know everyone in this field at the time. He is certainly no dummy. As someone who enjoys learning about different subjects and who never studied any psychology per se, (he also goes deep in metaphysics which Im fairly familiar with) I learnt a tremendous amount from this at times grindingly long book. Overall I’m very glad I stuck with it, and I have no doubt a bunch of the science parts are out of date but regardless, it was a thorough and fascinating read that I would recommend to anyone wanting a very comprehensive overview of everything psychology.
