The Principles of Psychology - Volume 1

The publication in 1890 of William James's acknowledged masterpiece, The Principles of Psychology, marked a turning point in the development of psychology as a science in America. The Principles of Psychology also became a source of inspiration in philosophy, literature, and the arts. When John Dewey reviewed it, he predicted that it would rank "as a permanent classic, like Locke's Essay and Hume's Treatise."
