Psychology and the Other Disciplines looks at how Aristotelian psychology developed from the medieval to the early modern period, by studying its interactions with other philosophical disciplines, medicine, and theology. The book addresses a wide range of topics, such as the place of psychology in the diverse academic curricula, the influence of theology and medicine on psychology and vice versa. Bringing together specialists in various fields, this volume shows that the transformation from the scholastic to more empirical approaches to psychology was a gradual process. Contributors include: Paul J.J.M. Bakker, Magdalena Bieniak, Lorenzo Casini, Elisa Cuttini, William Duba, Michael Edwards, Hiro Hirai, Matthew Klemm, Gideon Manning, and Nancy Siraisi.
