In this new millenium it may be fair to ask, "Why look at Wundt?" Over the years, many authors have taken fairly detailed looks at the work and accomplishments of Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920). This was especially true of the years around 1979, the centennial of the Leipzig Institute for Experimental Psychology, the birthplace of the "graduate program" in psychology. More than twenty years have passed since then, and in the intervening time those centennial studies have attracted the attention and have motivated the efforts of a variety of historians, philosophers, psychologists, and other social scientists.

"An Introduction to Psychology" by Wilhelm Max Wundt is a scholarly masterpiece that offers readers a comprehensive and insightful overview of the fundamental principles of psychology. Wundt's meticulous research and profound insights into the workings of the human mind and behavior serve as a solid foundation for anyone looking to explore this captivating field. This book is not merely an introduction; it's a gateway to a deeper understanding of the complexities of human cognition and behavior. Wundt's contribution to the study of psychology is invaluable, making this book an essential read for both aspiring psychologists and those with a curiosity about the workings of the human mind.
The creation of this book stems largely from the current centennial cele bration of the founding in Leipzig of Wundt's psychological laboratory. Wundt is acknowledged by many as one of the principal founders of experimental psychology. His laboratory, his journal, and his students were all influential in the transmission of the new psychology from Germany to all parts of the world. Nevertheless, until recently, psychol ogists and historians of science hardly recognized the scope and breadth of Wundt's influence, not to mention his contributions.! It was first through E. B. Titchener, and then through Titchener's student, E. G. Boring, that psychology got to know the somewhat biased and distorted picture of this great German psychologist. The picture painted by Titch ener and Boring was unquestionably the way they saw him, and the way they wished to use him as a part of the scientific psychological Zeitgeist of their time.
