A James Baldwin source page

Originally published as:

James Mark Baldwin. The Individual and Society or Psychology and Sociology. Boston: Richard G. Badger (1911).

Editors' notes

Written after he had the 1908 scandal that removed him from Johns Hopkins' faculty, Baldwin coincidentally chose the same publisher Thomas would choose to take over publication of The Polish Peasant in Europe and America after his dismissal from the University of Chicago in 1918.

Baldwin shared with Allport the belief that because behavior is individual — i.e., groups don't act, their members do— then the subject matter of Social Psychology is the appropriate pervue of Psychology.
