Abstract

The article discusses Csaba Pléh's book on the formation of modern psychology, emphasizing its ambitious scope and focus on historical and conceptual foundations. Pléh's work aims to provide a resource for psychology students and researchers, highlighting the intellectual diversity of psychology and its European roots. The book explores the development of psychology as an independent science, with a particular focus on the period between 1870 and 1900 when psychologists established their own identity. Pléh's comprehensive volume offers valuable insights into the evolution of psychology, though it may require guidance from informed teachers due to its encyclopedic style and complex content.
