Abstract
The thesis of this essay is that the eighteenth century was significantly more important in the history of psychology than traditional treatments have implied. 3 While it is obviously true that in some sense the intellectual developments of any century represent an unfolding of concepts implicitly or explicitly held in the previous century , the eighteenth-century development of psychological thought did not constitute a mere unfolding, and certainly not a logically necessary one.
