Theoretical unification in psychology

a materialist perspective

Charles W. Tolman

pp. 29-36

Abstract

The case for a materialist foundation for psychology is described in which theoretical unification emerges as an on-going historical process, not as a state. Theoretical indeterminacy is overcome through appeal to evolutionary and historical contexts which allow evaluation of theories in terms of essentiality and relevance.
