It was not always so: psychology has a history. The word psychology flags the idea that there is, or will be, a unified, true knowledge of the mind. Currently, the candidacy of evolutionary neuroscience holds sway. Yet, now and in the past, ‘psychology’ is a family name for a bewildering range of beliefs and preoccupations about what psychologists...
