Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hugo Münsterberg: His Life and Work This volume is the record of a scholar´s life cut off in the midst of its years, but abundant in accomplishment beyond most of those who have completed their full tale. Coming in his thirtieth year to a new country and a strange language to develop research in experimental psychology which William James had initiated at Harvard, Münsterberg rapidly acquired a fluent English in speech and writing, and, besides doing his own work in the laboratory and directing the investigations of advanced students, was soon teaching large classes of undergraduates in Harvard and Radcliffe. He frequently urged the establishment in American universities of research professorships whose incumbents should be released from the burden of teaching and be free to devote themselves wholly to science; but, whatever he may have imagined of the comforts of an easy chair, he was the last man who would have been happy in such seclusion. There are scholars to whom learning is like the Stoic "virtue," the self-rewarding highest good, and who feel no impulse to share their good with the world; there are others who devote themselves to their science and seek no audience beyond the few but fit among their fellow investigators. Münsterberg did not belong to either class. To give out was as necessary to him as to take in; to popularize science, as to promote it. Nor did this urgent impulse find scope enough in academic instruction; it overflowed to the uncollegiate public in numerous volumes, and in a steady stream of articles in popular periodicals, most of which were subsequently collected in volumes.
