ABSTRACT

This chapter presents an overview of concluding thoughts on the story of the history of psychology ranging over 2,500 years. Some of the most flourishing areas of research in the human sciences are interdisciplinary, such as behavioral economics (psychologists and economists), cognitive neuroscience (psychologists and physiologists), artificial intelligence, (psychologists and engineers), and evolutionary psychology (psychologists, anthropologists, and biologists). The scientific core of psychology is probably cognitive science, which is a combination of all of the above plus philosophers and linguists. Moreover, cognitive science is increasingly housed in its own academic department, separate from psychology. The word psychology may be the last vestige of David Hume's Science of Human Nature, an Enlightenment creation doomed by the centripetal forces of late modernism. The science with no subject matter will continue to exist, no doubt, as an academic label and licensed profession, but there will be no common intellectual core behind the name.
