O PSIQUISMO PARA TOMÁS DE AQUINO

UMA VISÃO SOBRE AS RAÍZES DA PSICOLOGIA CONTEMPORÂNEA NO PERÍODO MEDIEVAL

Abstract

For psychological science to reach where it is today, many efforts had to be added along all the centuries, among all the societies that developed in the terrestrial globe. Thus, an analysis of classical authors is necessary so that, understanding where this matter comes from, it is possible to define where one wants to go with it. That said, discovering and understanding the psychological concepts brought to light by Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century are relevant, since he is an author located in time between the ancient Greeks and modern psychologists, making it possible to identify the evolution of concepts within the areas of study, thus raising the exercise of relating what has already been said to what is now postulated in psychology, allowing the constant evolutionary exercise that the sciences play throughout human history to be noticed.
