The history of the development of psychology as a science waslaid back in antiquity. The idea of people that there must be a soul in the human body was one of the main thoughts of ancient mythology. And the first doctrine of the soul is animism, which behind living people assumed the existence of invisible ghosts.
Such scholars contributed to the study of the soullike Heraclitus, Hippocrates and Democritus, with the help of which the concept of temperament and its forms was introduced into psychology. The ideas of causality and patterns put forward by ancient Greek thinkers formed the basis of all future psychological science. The formula of Heraclitus: "Know yourself" meant the beginning of human activity in cultivating in itself a rational being who knows how to manage his feelings, needs and desires.
The history of the development of psychology as a science in the MiddleCentury is associated with the struggle against paganism and the accession of Christianity and other world religious teachings on the globe. Ibn Sina, Thomas Aquinas, Leonardo da Vinci, connecting the internal characteristics of a person with the natural, developed the concept that human nature can be improved through targeted educational processes. The Age of Enlightenment introduces truly scientific concepts into psychology. Among them are the definition of reflex, thinking, will, intellect. And finally, in the XIX century, when perfect anatomical studies of man were made and it became clear that the soul does not exist in the visible substance, the development of psychology as a special science began.
Since then, much time has passed.Psychology has become a hotel industry, without which a full-fledged study of the human essence is impossible. And it did not develop separately from other sciences. It is the interrelation of psychology with other sciences that has made those scientific discoveries that are today considered fundamental in the field of studying the mental properties of man.
The relationship of psychology with other sciences is determinedcontiguity of tasks. Let's start with biology. Man is a biosocial being. And the first part of this term indicates that before you begin to delve into the psychological details of a person’s existence, you need to familiarize yourself with his biological data, in particular with the characteristics of the central nervous system. And the second part of the term we are considering directly points to yet another very close relationship of psychology with other sciences, among which the social sciences are among the first places. Psychology cannot develop without history; it is precisely the achievements of historical civilizations that made possible the formation of the highest functions of the human psyche. Without tools and sign systems, mathematical or literal, it is impossible to imagine what would happen to a person.
Further, the connection of psychology with other sciences is brightappears in the emergence of such a science as social psychology. A person outside of society is impossible. He immediately turns into an animal. His psyche can be formed and develop only in society. Therefore, sociology is another base for the success of psychological research.
A man from birth is no different from hissmaller brethren. Consciousness and thinking he develops over time, under the influence of educational and educational processes. Therefore, another connection of psychology with other sciences is determined through its relationship with pedagogy, which is a science directly related to the formation of individual personality traits.
And, finally, the direct connection of psychology with otherSciences celebrated through its philosophical foundations, which were mentioned earlier. The nature of human existence and individual inner qualities are closely related. Therefore, a philosophical view of the essence of man is applied in psychological science.
