"In the world of contemporary academia, Danziger’s work is unique.
It blends immense knowledge of the history (and pre-history) of psychological
research with likewise immense knowledge of psychology’s conceptual and cultural
history; it combines discussion of empirical experimentation with its discourse
analysis; and it draws on registers of historical erudition and philosophical
acumen unusual in many human sciences and very rare in psychology. In today’s
psychology, Kurt Danziger appears like one of the small number of scholars from
ancient Athens who, after Greece was defeated, were able continue their work in
Rome, reminding the Romans of a civilization so different from theirs.
Kurt Danziger is the subject of an entry in the recently published Encyclopedia of the History of Psychological Theories. A copy of the entry is available here.
A symposium on Kurt Danziger's work was held at the annual meeting of the Japanese Psychological Association. more...
