Dear friends and members of the ESHHS,
we are happy to announce that Saulo de Freitas Araujo, one of our long time members, published his book on Wundt.
About the book:
This book reassesses the seminal work of Wilhelm Wundt by discussing the history and philosophy of psychology. It traces the pioneering theorist’s intellectual development and the evolution of psychology throughout his career. The author draws on little-known sources to situate psychological concepts in Wundt’s philosophical thought and address common myths and misconceptions relating to Wundt’s ideas. The ideas presented in this book show why Wundt’s work remains relevant in this era of ongoing mind/brain debate and interest continues in the links between psychology and philosophy.
Featured topics include:
Theoretical and philosophical foundations of Wundt’s early work in scientific psychology.
Wundt’s conception of scientific philosophy in relation to his theory of knowledge.
The epistemological dimensions of Wundt’s final project in scientific psychology.
Wundt and the Philosophical Foundations of Psychology is a valuable resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students in cognitive and related psychology and philosophy disciplines.

Dear friends and members of the ESHHS,
we are pleased to present to you the following journal which might be of interest to many of us: The European Yearbook of the History of Psychology. Sources, Theories, and Models.
The European Yearbook of the History of Psychology. Sources, Theories, and Models (EYHP) is devoted to the history of psychology, and especially to the interconnections between historiographic survey and problems of epistemology. With an eye on the interdisciplinary nature of cultural studies, the Yearbook pays special attention to those common areas between psychological research and its adjacent disciplines, in particular the human and the life sciences (philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychiatry, physiology, neurology, biology, zoology, etc.). Aimed primarily at historians and philosophers of psychology, epistemologists, historians of philosophy, and historians of human sciences, the Yearbook is also open to contributions from all areas of psychology that address a phenomenon or topic of interest in psychology from a historical perspective and/or with an epistemological approach. Besides original essays, the Yearbook encompasses the following sections: Unpublished and archival material; Discussions (a space where authors can confront one another and discuss specific topics); Interviews; Book reviews and reading recommendations.
Dear ESHHS member,
attached please find the first call for abstracts for our joint meeting with Cheiron in Barcelona next year. Our host in Barcelona will be the long-time member and former President Annette Mülberger.
Hope to see you as well as the “Cheironians” there!
