Tendencies in Modern Psychology

Abstract

"But in the case of the New Psychology, there is a large class of serious-minded persons who are profoundly disquieted. They are not hostile to new ideas, nor wedded to traditional forms of statement. But they have come to cherish certain ideas as expressing for them their highest sense of values. They have a conviction that Determinism is not the last word concerning human conduct; they make it their constant effort, "forgetting the things that are behind and stretching forward to the things that are before," to "press on toward the goal"; they believe it is possible to " move upward, working out the beast."
