Nick Lewis: The Blog

Modern psychology has often drawn, I suspect, a caricature rather than a portrait of man. As a result it has introduced a grave gap between itself and the knowledge of men that observation gives us and from which investigation must start. Those who are not psychologists ... speak of such strange things as fair play, justice and unjustice, even of dignity and the need for freedom. ... Yet not only are these ideas excluded from scientific discussion; the conceptual schemes with which psychology works today hardly leave room for them.
