“…The earliest preserved printed works featuring the term psychology are two books published in 1525, just 1 year after the death of Marulić ( Janssen and Hubbard, 2021 ). Both books used the term in the Latin form psychologia .…”

“…According to Castellani, “the whole science about the soul, which is called Psychology, is said by the Greeks to be in the middle between Physics and Metaphysics” and “one part of the science about the soul is that which is natural, physiology, just as Aristotle openly writes in the end of his book On the Motion of Animals and in the first book of his On the Soul, Commentary 15 and the sixth book of his Metaphysics, Commentary 2. Likewise, one part of Psychology is metaphysics, as concerning that aspect of the soul which is not natural, just as Aristotle gives witness in Book 2 of On the Parts of Animals, Chapter 1, and Book 6 of the Metaphysics, Commentary 2” ( Castellani, 1525 ; English translation from: Janssen and Hubbard, 2021 ). Interestingly, while Schnell employed the term in a totally metaphysical-theological context, in Castellani’s view psychology is part metaphysical and part physical.…”

Comparative psychology, in its narrow meaning, refers to the study of the similarities and differences in the psychology and behavior of different species. In a broader meaning, it includes comparisons between different biological and socio-cultural groups, such as species, sexes, developmental stages, ages, and ethnicities. This broader meaning originated by extension from the former narrow meaning, which historically was the original meaning of the phrase (interspecies psychological and behavioral comparisons) and which still today is the focus of the field. Currently, comparative psychology is a subject of study in hundreds of universities all over the world. Nevertheless, a question that is often asked but seldom answered is: when did the phrase comparative psychology first appear and where did it come from? In the present work, we tracked down the origins of the phrase comparative psychology. In order to do so, at first we described the origin of the word psychology, coined in the decade 1510–1520 in the Republic of Venice by Dalmatian Renaissance humanist Marko Marulić Splićanin (1450–1524). Then, to explain where, within the phrase comparative psychology, the term comparative came from, we outlined the origin of the use of the word comparative in reference to interspecies comparisons. Finally, we reported the origin of the combination of the words comparative and psychology to form the phrase comparative psychology, the first usage of which was in 1778 by German scholar Michael Hissmann (1752–1784) from the University of Göttingen. Origins of the phrase in Latin, German, French and English languages are described.

“…Indeed, when did medical men start to use the titular term? Neo-Latin psychologia denoting the philosophical-theological animae scientia is attested at least as early as 1525 ( Janssen and Hubbard, 2021 : 184), while by the 1680s, English psychologie / psychology / psucologie denoted alternatively a metadiscipline, or a subdiscipline, of (medical) anthropology (for context and details, see Ross, 2017 ). The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) speaks of a newer denotation that shifts from ‘soul or spirit’ to ‘the human mind’, citing a 1712 source for the latter, though admitting ‘it is difficult to determine when it began to be used in sense 2’.…”

The term psychiatry ( Psychiatrie) was first used in 1800, in the early work of Leipzig Romantic natural philosopher and later neuroanatomist Karl Friedrich Burdach; it was a recherché reference to medical animism. This little-known instance of neologism by a young ambitious author invites a brief lexicological study of psychiatry as a specialty in search of its place among the medical specialties, methods and applications. The European historical lexicology of psychiatry recalls the philosophical commentary tradition on Aristotle’s De Anima, eventually ( c. 1525) honoured with the mononym psychologia. The battle for the soul’s science was superseded by the increasingly diverse theoretical, empirical, forensic and literary-humanitarian interests in mental medicine during the second half of the eighteenth century.

“…Dito de outra forma, ao menos no caso da psicologia, a história do termo não coincide com a história do conceito. Até (Araujo, 2021;Janssen & Hubbard, 2021;Klempe, 2020). Consequentemente, Tomás de Aquino não poderia tê-lo utilizado.…”

Desde o século XIII, a obra de Tomás de Aquino tem suscitado muitos debates entre filósofos e teólogos. São poucos os psicólogos, contudo, que veem aí alguma relevância para a psicologia contemporânea, embora o pensamento do Aquinate contenha profundas reflexões sobre aspectos da natureza humana que ainda desafiam nossa compreensão. Partindo do pressuposto de que o pensamento medieval pode lançar luz sobre alguns debates psicológicos contemporâneos, o objetivo do presente artigo é duplo: primeiro, queremos mostrar que há uma psicologia genuína em Tomás de Aquino, entendida como scientia de anima; segundo, vamos ilustrar nossa tese por meio da análise de um de seus conceitos centrais, a saber, a vontade. Nossa análise ficará restrita ao âmbito da Suma de Teologia, embora apareçam também algumas menções a outros escritos em que o tópico aparece. Ao final, vamos discutir as implicações desse conceito para a psicologia de Aquino, algumas limitações da presente investigação e possíveis caminhos futuros.
