Question

Summarize in a complete paragraph how psychology has its roots in philosophy, and provide examples of two philosopher’s contributions

Answer 1

Answer:

All modern scientific disciplines, from astronomy to sociology, trace their roots to philosophy, and psychology is no exception. The discipline of psychology emerged in the nineteenth century, but before, there were many philosophers who made contributions to the field of study. Two examples are Plato, and Kant. Both of them were curious about the workings of the mind, and developed philosophical theories to explain how it worked.
