What is it about?
Wilhelm M. Wundt was one of the key figures in the development and institutionalization of the human sciences in the 19th century. He contributed to many fields of study, such as physiology, philosophy, logic, anthropology, and psychology. The article outlines his influence on modern psychology's development in general as well as his role in the development of a culture-inclusive and multi-methodical psychology.
