Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 760 "Principles of Physiological Psychology", Berlin's Anger

August 1879, 8, is a date worth remembering in future generations because it was the day on which the modern discipline of psychology was founded.

Wilhelm Wundt, who was born in the Principality of Baden but immigrated to Sydney, the Australian mainland in the Netherlands after Prussia occupied the Principality of Baden in 1867, officially established the modern psychology discipline at the University of Sydney on this day.

Because the University of Sydney is currently ranked second in the global university rankings after the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, famous universities around the world include the University of Cambridge and other universities such as the University of Melbourne and the University of Oxford, which are ranked third and fourth. They are all interested in Sydney. The university is very interested in pioneering the establishment of a new discipline.

In particular, British universities that have severed diplomatic relations with the Netherlands have shown signs of competition.

After all, if the University of Sydney makes achievements in new subjects, it will be a huge challenge for the number one University of Cambridge.

As a result, personal information about Wilhelm Wundt, the first dean and founder of psychology, suddenly reached the desks of university presidents and even high-ranking politicians.

German Empire, Berlin.

"Wilhelm Wundt was born on August 1832, 8, in the town of Neckarau, in the city of Mannheim in the then Grand Duchy of Baden in the German Confederation.

In 1851, Wundt entered the University of Tübingen to study medicine.
In 1852, he transferred to Heidelberg University to study medicine.

In 1855, Wundt took the medical qualification examination of the Grand Duchy of Baden and ranked first in all examinations. In this year, he also worked as an intern in a hospital in Heidelberg for several months. "

“In 1856, Wundt went to the University of Berlin to study physiology for a semester with Johnson Müller and Emil Remu. In the same year, Wundt graduated from the Department of Medicine at the University of Heidelberg with a doctorate and obtained the qualification of a lecturer at the school.

In 1857, Wundt established a course in experimental physiology at the University of Heidelberg. "

In 1858, Hermann van Peron, a professor of physiology and political science at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, came to Heidelberg University as a professor at the Institute of Physiology, and Wundt became his laboratory assistant.

In 1862, Wundt opened the "Psychology of Natural Sciences" course at the University of Heidelberg, which is the prototype of physiological psychology that he now established. He also proposed the term "experimental psychology" for the first time in this course. , he began to use experimental methods from the natural sciences and research results of neuro-physiology to study psychology.
In 1864, he was promoted to associate professor at the University of Heidelberg.

In 1867 Prussia unified all the German Confederation countries except the Austrian Empire and the territory of Luxembourg.Hermann van Peron left Heidelberg University on January 1868, 1 and returned to Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

However, Wundt failed to succeed him and only received the title of temporary professor. In March of the same year, he married his fiancée Sophie Mao.After his marriage, Wundt devoted himself to writing about psychology, and wrote the seminal work "Principles of Physiology" which is now very important on both sides of the Atlantic. Once it was published, it immediately became the focus of attention.

In September 1868, William Wundt's opinions against Prussian rule of the Principality of Baden were widely circulated in the Principality of Baden. Many newspapers believed that this person also expressed his opinion against the Grand Duke Friedrich I of the Principality of Baden. He was dissatisfied and believed that the Grand Duke treated King William I of Prussia as being inherently inferior and acting like a servant.

Friedrich I was very dissatisfied with this and banned all publications of Wilhelm Wundt in the Duchy of Baden. On November 1868, 11, Wilhelm Wundt and his family immigrated from the Duchy of Baden to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and became a visiting professor in Amsterdam.

In 1871, he followed the call of the Dutch government to move the capital to Melbourne, Australia. The family immigrated to Sydney, also in Australia, and became a professor of physiology at the University of Sydney after Herman Van Peron became the president of the University of Sydney.

In August 1879, the complete version of "Principles of Physiological Psychology" was published in mainland Australia. The first textbook in the history of psychology that specifically focused on psychology was published. In this textbook, it focused on feelings, emotions, will, perception and thinking. After the publication of the systematic books as the research object, it immediately attracted the attention of various universities.

Now, Wilhelm Wundt established the world's first psychology laboratory at the University of Sydney with the support of Hermann Van Peron, the president of the University of Sydney, and funding from the royal family. Since then, psychology has become a unique discipline.

Your Majesty, the Netherlands is so open to the public and is doing its best to publicize it all over the world. It is a shame."

Bismarck, the Prime Minister of the German Empire, said angrily: "The Netherlands has been searching for talents around the world for its own use over the years, and it has reached the point of being crazy. If it is not stopped, it will pose a long-term threat to us. Yes, so it must be stopped.”

Speaking of this, Bismarck looked at Grand Duke Friedrich I of the Principality of Baden with some coldness and said: "Your Excellency, Grand Duke, do you know the population that has migrated to the Netherlands from the Principality of Baden in recent years?"

Friedrich I was a little dissatisfied when he heard this. After all, he was the Grand Duke of a country. Although Bismarck was the Prime Minister of the German Empire in the Duchy of Baden and he was just a prince, the look he gave him was too ugly. But when he thought about it, His father-in-law, William I, had always obeyed Bismarck's words, and he was a little restless again.

It's ridiculous that Princess Louise, the only daughter of William I, has always supported Prussia since her marriage in 1856, but now she has to face the persecution of a powerful man like Bismarck, while his father-in-law William I and his brother-in-law Crown Prince Frederick are the same He looked like he was doing business, and he knew that being embarrassed in front of him this time would be inevitable.

So he took a breath, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Bismarck said without mercy: "31. In the 1860 years from 19 to now, the population of the Principality of Baden directly immigrated to the Netherlands has exceeded 30."

Ignoring the embarrassed look on Friedrich I's face, Bismarck asked the shocked Grand Duke Karl I of the Principality of Württemberg next to him: "I don't know how many immigrants from your Principality of Württemberg have immigrated to the Netherlands, Grand Duke Karl?"

Karl I looked at William I with embarrassment, then looked at Friedrich I who had just been "reprimanded" with complicated eyes, and said with a wry smile: "49 people."

Bismarck nodded and said: "Look, everyone, the combined population of the Principality of Württemberg and the Principality of Baden who have migrated to the Netherlands has reached 80 people. This is 80 people. If these 80 people had not left Germany, Empire, then how much economic income can we increase, and how many more soldiers can we increase to strengthen the country?"

Bismarck's words were so powerful that you could hear them before he finished a sentence, and the whole meeting was extremely quiet.
