Elements of Folk Psychology

Wundt's account of cultural or folk psychology — his attempt to understand the higher mental processes (language, myth, religion, social customs) that cannot be studied in the laboratory.

Völkerpsychologie: the study of the collective mental life expressed in language, myth, and social customs. A different program from his laboratory psychology: individual consciousness requires a social-cultural context that laboratory methods cannot capture. An early attempt at what would now be called cultural psychology or cognitive anthropology. Undervalued relative to his laboratory work.
