“…He does not reduce the higher to the level of the lower; but, rather, true to the principle that there is nothing in the end which was not in the beginning, heightens the value of the earlier stages. It would probably prove a fruitful study to compare this writer's treatment of religious development with that of the late Edward Caird in his Evolution of Religion [2] .…”

Source(s) numérique(s) identifiée(s) : aucune Prof. Durkheim, who holds the chair of the Faculty of Letters at the University of Paris, has written an intensely interesting book, and has propounded in a most lucid manner his sociological theory of the origin of religion. Whether he succeeds or not in converting his opponents, they will at least admit that his study of Australian totemism is profoundly suggestive. The title of the volume indicates the object of his inquiry. He is searching for what is most primitive and fundamental in religion, for "the ever-present causes upon which the most essential forms of religious thought and practice depend." [1] These he finds among the Australian tribes, whose social structure, based on the clan, appears to him to be the most elementary form of social structure in existence. Occasional reference is made in the volume to North American totemism, but the author for the most part confines himself to Australia. Here, thanks to the investigations of Spencer and Gillen, and of the German missionary Strehlow, we have rich material to our hand. We are not sure, however, that Prof. Durkheim is right in his confident assertion that Australian totemism represents the most primitive form of social organization; nor has he, perhaps, allowed sufficiently for the existence of various strata of beliefs among the Australian tribes. He tends to treat Australian totemism too exclusively as a homogeneous whole, whereas, in point of fact, it may represent the result of a considerable evolution.

“…Knudson (1927) and other personalist historians credit R. Hermann Lotze as the originator of the personalist approach in philosophical theology and the philosophical theologian Borden Parker Bowne as the founder of the formal American movement (Roback, 1952, p. 93). Elements of personalism permeate the work of the British philosophical psychologists James Ward (1899) and George Frederick Stout (1931, both able natural theologians; the statistician William Brown (1923Brown ( , 1929Brown ( , 1934Brown ( , 1936Brown ( , 1946, who became a fine religious clinician; object relations theorist Harry Guntrip (1956Guntrip ( /1957Guntrip ( , 1969, who was first a Congregationalist minister; and American psychologists William James, George Trumbull Ladd, and Mary Whiton Calkins. 6 The work of later personalist thinkers has helped me to explore the dual experiences of solitude, where we forge our agency and personal authority, and community, in which we develop as persons (Vande Kemp, 2000).…”

The author discusses ways to make the history of psychology course relevant for a clinical psychology doctoral program within a multidenominational Protestant theological seminary. She uses a personalist orientation to emphasize the need to integrate psychology, philosophy, and theology. She differentiates among the intrapersonal, interpersonal, impersonal, and transpersonal dimensions of experience. She illustrates the rich multidisciplinary historical roots of contemporary psychology by tracing the the history of the term psychology and examining its meanings in the existential psychology of Søren Kierkegaard and in the 19th-century novel. She includes brief histories of the "new psychology" and of the unconscious. She describes how she uses the field of psychotheological integration to illustrate principles of historiography and summarizes resources used to supplement traditional textbooks.
