Constructing the Subject an Interview with Kurt Danziger' P & M 73, 1995,351-366 351_ JlIrl/1I1 ADRIAN BROCK Constructing the subject , 1flL'IlS is An interview with Kurt Danziger' -gie Villi ;1. In the autumn of 1994, Kurt Oanziger retired from full-time teaching Icid,49, at York University in Toronto, Canada. He was born in Germany and studied psychology in South Africa and England. He has taught psy- chology in Australia, Indonesia, South Africa, Germany and Canada. 'vland« Danziger began his career in experimental psychology )e Er- but soon moved into developmental and social psycholo- de ja- gy. His work in these areas from the 1960's and 1970's has been translated into several languages and is still cit- ed and discussed. Around the middle of the 1970' s, his interests moved to history and theory of psychology and .rochi- he quickly established a formidable reputation in this con- field. Much of his work went against traditional accounts of the history of psychology, which had been accepted 'filly,is, for many years, and led to major changes in our view of psychology's past. Oanziger's contributions to several e Kei- different areas of psychology 'were recognised in 1989 Uitge- when he was elected a Fellow of the prestigious Royal ,Iksse- Society of Canada ~ one of the very few psychologists who have received this distinction. Kuri Danziget One of the more interesting features of Danziger's historical work is that it focusses on central aspects of psychology which have tradition- ally been neglected by historians of psychology ~ perhaps because they are regarded as timeless. During the 1980's, Danziger published numerous articles and chapters on the history of psychological me- thods. Much of this work was brought together in his book, Construct- ing the subject: Historical origins of psychological research (1990a), This book was the subject of a symposium which was held at the meeting of the International Society for the History of the Social and Behav- ioural Sciences in 1991. The papers from this symposium were subse- quently published in Theory and Psychology (Capshew et at, 1992). Some indication of the importance of the book can be seen in the lead review of the July 1992 issue of Contemporary Psychology. The reviewer writes: 'Without a doubt this is the most important book on the histo- ry of psychology to come along in years. It is my sincere hope that at some future time the understanding and the very teaching of the his- tory of our discipline will have been profoundly altered by Danziger's analysis.' (Stam, 1992, p, 632) Constructing the subject helped to bring Danziger's historical work to the attention of a broader audience of non-specialists. One of his main concerns has been to show that history of psychology is not the chronicle of a dead past but an active area of research which is of rele- _352 I' & M 73, 1995 vance to contemporary issues in psychology. This was the subject of invited addresses which he gave to the American Psychological Asso- ciation, the Canadian Psychological Association and the British Psy- chological Society in 1992 and 1993. An article based on these invited addresses, Does the history of psychology have a [u ture?, has already ap- peared (Danziger, 1994). As part of this concern to see history and theory of psychology re- cognised as a legitimate speciality within psychology, Danziger play- ed a central role in establishing the History /Theory option within the Psychology graduate programme at York University, which he coor- dinated for many years. One of the few of its kind in the world, the option has attracted students from Europe and the United States - many of whom have been supervised by Danziger himself. Oanziger's pioneering work in this field was recognised by the Cana- dian Psychological Association in 1994 when he received its first Award for Distinguished Contributions to Education and Training. Although he has now retired from full-time teaching, Danziger continues to be very active in research. He is currently working on a new book on the history of basic psychological concepts like person- ality, intelligence, emotion, motivation and the self. This is yet another example of Danziger's tendency to examine the history of central as- pects of the discipline which have been traditionally regarded as eternal. It will, no doubt, solidify his reputation as an important and original researcher. Could I start by asking you to say afew words abou t your background - where you were born, educated and 50 011? I was born in Breslau in 1926 - at that time part of Cermany.s When J was 11, my family emigrated to South Africa and so I finished my education in Cape Town, South Africa up to the M.A. level. I went to Oxford to do my D.Phil in 1949. The psychology department at Oxford was quite new at the time - was it not? Very new. It had only just been established as an experimental psy- chology department. As you know, there had been individuals there within psychology - the best known, of course, having been William MacDougall - long before but, as an institute, it was new. It had just been established before I came-' With George Humphreu as the head? Yes. And George Humphrey had been at Queen's University in Cana- da for a long time before returning to Oxford.? Oxford had a reputation as a hotbed of critical philosophers. I wouldn't say anti-psychology but certainly anti-psychology in the way that it was being done. I'm thinking '.Jfpeople like Gilbert Ryle.5 Did you encounter any of this criticism? I Yes.

    CLIO-PSYCHÉ What is a polycentric history of psychology?1 O que é uma história policêntrica da psicologia? ¿Qué es una historia policéntrica de la psicologia? Adrian C. Brock* Independent Scholar ABSTRACT The term, “polycentric history of psychology” was originally used by Kurt Danziger and it has since been adopted by other historians of psychology. The article provides an introduction to this approach. The trend towards the internationalisation of psychology has led to the history of American psychology being supplemented by other local histories. Polycentric history is contrasted this approach. It is concerned with the interrelationships between centres and not individual centres considered in isolation. The article concludes with some examples of history that has been written from a polycentric perspective. Keywords: polycentric, history, Danziger, internationalisation, interrelationships. RESUMO O conceito "história policêntrica da psicologia" foi originalmente utilizado por Kurt Danziger e, desde então, tem sido adotado por outros historiadores da psicologia. O artigo faz uma introdução a esta perspectiva. A tendência à internacionalização da psicologia implicou que a história da psicologia norte- americana pudesse ser complementada com outras histórias locais. A história policêntrica contrasta com esta abordagem, pois se preocupa com as inter-relações entre os centros, e não pelos centros considerados isoladamente. O artigo finaliza com alguns exemplos de história que tem sido escritos a partir de uma perspectiva policêntrica.

  • The Positivist Repudiation of Wundt Kurt Danziger
    Jouml of the History ofthe Behuvioral Sciences 15 (1979): 205-230. THE POSITIVIST REPUDIATION OF WUNDT KURT DANZIGER Near the turn of the century, younger psychologists like KUlpe, Titchener, and Eb- binghaus began to base their definition of psychology on the positivist philosophy of science represented by Mach and Avenarius, a development that was strongly op- posed by Wundt. Psychology was redefined as a natural science concerned with phenomena in their dependence on a physical organism. Wundt’s central concepts of voluntarism, value, and psychic causality were rejected as metaphysical, For psy- chological theory this resulted in a turn away from Wundt’s emphasis on the dynamic and central nature of psychological processes toward sensationalism and processes anchored in the observable peripher of the organism. Behaviorism represents a logical development of this point orview. I. PSYCHOLOGYAS SCIENCE What makes the early years in the history of experimental psychology of more than antiquarian interest are the fundamental disagreements that quickly separated its prac- titioners. These disagreements frequently concerned issues that are not entirely dead even today because they involve basic commitments about the nature of the discipline which had to be repeated by successive generations, either explicitly, or, with increasing fre- quency, implicitly. In the long run it is those historical divisions which involve fundamental questions about the nature of psychology as a scientific discipline that are most likely to prove il- luminating. Such questions acquired great urgency during the last decade of the nineteenth and the first few years of the present century, for it was during this period that psychologists began to claim the status of a separate scientific discipline for their subject.

  • Wundt's Psychological Experiment in the Light of His Philosophy of Science
    Psychol. Res. 42, 109-122 (1980) Psychological (Wundt Centennial Issue) Research © by Springer-Veflag• 1980 Wundt's Psychological Experiment in the Light of His Philosophy of Science Kurt Danziger York University, Ontario, Canada Summary. Wundt initiated the first systematic psychological research pro- gramme. This achievement occurred at the same time as his elaboration of a philosophy of science which was anti-inductivist and stressed the priority of explanatory motives. Specifically psychological explanations depended on concepts of psychological causality as manifested in apperceptive or volitional processes. The major differences between the Wundtian and other models of psychological experimentation can be understood in the light of this general approach. Thus experimenters and subjects had to be enlightened collabora- tors and the role of introspection was more significant in an explanatory than in a purely observational context. Wundt's special requirements for the psy- chological experiment led him to reject other early models as exemplified by the hypnotic experiment in which the experimenter-subject relationship was closer to what was to become the norm in the twentieth century. Introduction What earned Wundt a special place in the history of psychology was his laboratory, his experimental approach. His crucial contribution seems to fall in the area of meth- odology rather than in the area of substantive theoretical concepts or specific empiri- cal discoveries. But the exact nature of Wundt's major methodological contribution is not immedi- ately obvious. On the level of technique, whether in terms of hardware or in terms of procedure, he was associated with developments and improvements rather than with any original breakthrough.

I have long forgotten the details of these consultations, but there was one that remains in my mind to this day. It involved a young student who wanted to combine a heavy concentration of courses in psychology with an equally heavy concentration of courses on historical topics. However, she was worried that this would be regarded as a weird combination. Indeed, she said that her friends had told her it was weird and that casual comments by one or two faculty members had implied much the same thing. What did I think? Well, I thought it was a combination that made a lot of sense and advised her to go right ahead.

The inter- viewer is a former student of Danziger and coeditor of a recent book on Danziger’s work. Kurt Danziger is a senior scholar whose innovative contributions to the history of psychology have received widespread international recognition. He was born in Germany in 1926 and emigrated to South Africa at the age of 11. After receiving degrees in chemistry and psychology from the University of Cape Town, he continued his studies at the newly established Institute of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford in England. His work there involved standard 1940s psychology experiments using laboratory rats (e.g., Danziger, 1953). After completing his doctorate, he joined the University of Melbourne in Australia where he did research in developmental psychology, studying children’s understanding of social relationships (e.g., Danziger, 1957).

  • Psychology and Its History
    TAP23610.1177/0959354313502746Theory & Psychology Danziger 5research-art0icle2013 2746 Comment Theory & Psychology 23(6) 829–839 Psychology and its history © The Author(s) 2013 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0959354313502746 tap.sagepub.com Kurt Danziger York University Abstract During its relatively short history as a distinct discipline, psychology was accompanied by a historiography that projected the idea of psychology back to ancient times when such an idea did not in fact exist. As the modern discipline proliferated into a collection of weakly connected sub-disciplines, the textbook image of psychology’s ancient essence suggested that, in spite of the current messy reality, the subject had an unchanging core object that had always been there to be recognized. Earlier, that object was the psyche, later it was “human nature,” and more recently, the principles of human cognition. However, historiography plays a more useful role within the discipline when it takes the current multiplicity of psychological objects as its point of departure and explores the social context of their emergence. This entails a historical analysis of the language used to define, describe, categorize, and modify psychological objects. Keywords history, language of description, philosophy, philosophy of science, scientific progress Let me first lay to rest a myth that threatens to obscure the very real issues at stake in this discussion. The notion that I regard authors who trace the history of psychology to ancient Greece as “ignorant” not only lacks any support from my writings, on the con- trary, Aristotle happens to be the most cited author in my most recent book on the history of a psychological topic (Danziger, 2008).
