Abstract
Kantor’s historical analysis of scientific psychology is an example of a “naturalistic” or interbehavioral application in another discipline. He shows that (naturalistic) scientific psychology progresses through an early Hellenic period as pure naturalism, is extinguished with the influence of Christianity, and then reemerges following the Renaissance. A parallel development occurs in the case of “scientific history.” We propose that scientific history also begins as a naturalistic enterprise, undergoes extinction, and following its resurgence restores an objective approach to the practice of historiography. The congruence between the scientific careers of psychology and history serves as powerful verification of Kantor’s theory of the cultural matrix.
