Psychológia je veda, ktorá sa vyvinula z filozofie ako veda o duši. Podľa Hegela je to odbor, ktorého predmetom je duch, resp. duša a vedomie. Keďže ľudská duša je krehká, psychológia teda skúma jej jednotlivé schopnosti, kognitívne procesy a afektívne stavy.

Ak ju potrebujete aj vy práve teraz alebo sa chcete dozvedieť o psychológii viac, kníhkupectvá vám ponúkajú množstvo kníh.
