[SC: 36.31], [PU: New York: Berghahn Books, 2013], Klautke, Egbert. The mind of the nation: Völkerpsychologie in Germany, 1851-1955. New York: Berghahn Books, 2013, 188pp., very good hardcover with printed covers, corners lightly bumped. Völkerpsychologie played an important role in establishing the social sciences, in Germany and abroad, via the works of such scholars as Georg Simmel, Emile Durkheim, Ernest Renan, Franz Boas, and Werner Sombart. In Germany, the intellectual history of "folk psychology" in Germany was represented by Moritz Lazarus, Heymann Steinthal, Wilhelm Wundt and Willy Hellpach. This book follows the invention of the discipline in the nineteenth century, its rise around the turn of the century, and its ultimate demise after the Second World War. In addition, it shows that despite the repudiation of "folk psychology" and its failed institutionalization, the discipline remains relevant as a precursor of contemporary studies of "national identity." - CONTENTS: Introduction: Volkerpsychologie in German -- Lazarus, Steinthal and the Invention of Folk Psychology -- Wilhelm Wundt's Folk Psychology -- Willy Hellpach and the Resurrection of Folk Psychology -- Conclusion: Volkerpsychologie after the Catastrophe -- Bibliography -- Index.
