Bruce Mazlish and the Claims of Psychohistory

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Bruce Mazlish and the Claims of Psychohistory

It is the 101st anniversary of the birth of Bruce Mazlish (15 September 1923 – 27 November 2016), who was born in Brooklyn on this date in 1923.

Mazlish was an important figure in the development of psychohistory, the attempt to bring the insights of psychology and the social sciences to bear on history. But can the insights of psychology and psychotherapy offer any clarification for history, or do they only threaten to deepen the confusion?
