Abstract

MICELI, Claudio  and  BRUNO, Darío. Ernesto Weigel Muñoz: precursor of the teaching of Psychology at the University of Buenos Aires. Anu. investig. [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.2, pp.203-211. ISSN 1851-1686.

We will board as an axis the Philosophy Course dictated from 1894 by Weigel Muñoz at the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires, placing there the beginning of a process of academic development of psychology which has a historical continuity that crown with the implantation of the experimental psychology by Horacio Piñero in 1902. We understand that the latter found an academic and institutional context that allows and even demands its reception, and that such conditions of registration will begin with the teaching in law by Weigel Muñoz. We believe that this course is not a mere antecedent, but already has a degree of structure that includes the main lines of current psychological thinking and institutes a discursive dimension which will be built on the continuity of psychological thought once the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters is created.
