Notes on Maslow by Colin Wilson(This chapter is the introduction to
New Pathways in Psychology)
Leave a Comment
I read this when I was 23, after re-reading Colin Wilson's New Pathways in Psychology. Maslow was saying scientists are motivated by the same impulse as poets and artists etc.
I know it doesn't apply to all scientists. He was talking about true scientists of course. As was I. As will anyone who read it, or in short, <duh>. But Maslow himself pointed out he didn't see himself as a maverick... just <normal>.
That's right. That's what he says. But it does no apply to all scientists. Maslow talks about the unconventional, revolutionary scientists, and not the "standard" ones.
I just took a AP Psych class at my high school and this guy was every where =]
