Study Notes
Key Historical Figures in Psychology and Science
- Sigmund Freud is known as the "Father of Psychoanalysis," introducing concepts that integrate conscious and unconscious influences on behavior and emotions.
- Charles Darwin published "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" in 1859, proposing the Theory of Evolution, emphasizing natural selection.
- Robert Boyle, considered the first modern chemist, discovered Boyle's Law, demonstrating the relationship between gas volume and pressure.
- Giordano Bruno advocated heliocentrism, influencing the scientific community despite facing persecution.
- Francis Bacon initiated the scientific method and emphasized evidence-based knowledge.
- Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is recognized as the "Father of Microbiology" for discovering bacteria and spermatozoa.
- Christiaan Huygens contributed to the wave theory of light, developed the pendulum clock, and identified the true shape of Saturn's rings.
Freud's Psychoanalytic Theory
- Personality comprises three structures: id (instinctual drives), ego (realistic self), and superego (moral conscience).
- Id: The biological and impulsive component that seeks instant gratification and operates on the pleasure principle; does not mature.
-
Ego: Functions as a mediator that balances id's needs with societal expectations; involves realistic thinking and delaying gratification.
- Example: A child refrains from stealing at work, recognizing wrongness.
- Superego: Represents internalized morals and ideals; guides judgment of right or wrong based on societal norms.
Newton's Laws of Motion and Gravity
- Newton's Second Law states that force is proportional to mass and acceleration; relates to Freudian concepts of psychosocial forces.
- Newton's Third Law (Law of Interaction) posits that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, analogous to the dynamic between the id and superego.
Darwin's Evolution and Its Impact
- Darwin's Theory suggests that organisms evolve through natural selection and adaptation over time, marking a shift in biological science.
- Early proponents of evolution were met with resistance due to conflicts with religious beliefs and established scientific notions.
Contributions to the Scientific Revolution
- The heliocentric model was initially rejected. Key figures like Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, and Galileo Galilei made significant contributions to validating this model.
- Galileo's observations and support lent credibility to Copernican theory, revolutionizing astronomy and challenging Aristotelian concepts.
Darwin's Legacy
- Darwin is recognized as the "Father of Evolution" due to his foundational work in understanding biological evolution through natural selection.
- His ideas were further verified by anatomist Richard Owen, who related Darwin's findings to documented specimens.
Understanding Human Nature Through Psychoanalysis
- Freud's work posits that human behavior is influenced by unconscious motivations and biological instincts.
- He emphasizes that the development of personality is shaped by psychosexual stages in childhood, lasting impacts that resonate throughout life.
- Conservation of energy and emotional catharsis are central to Freud's therapeutic practices, focusing on releasing repressed emotions for psychological relief.
