Quote from History of Psychology - Edwin G. Boring

This quote was added by speedigonzalist1980
The experimental psychologist ... needs historical sophistication within his own sphere of expertness. Without such knowledge he sees the present in distorted perspective, he mistakes old facts and old views for new, and he remains unable to evaluate the significance of new movements and methods. In this matter, I can hardly state my faith too strongly. A psychological sophistication that constrains no component of historical orientation seems to me to be no sophistication at all.
