Centenaire Ribot (première partie). La réception de l’œuvre de Théodule Ribot publiée chez l’éditeur Ladrange (1870-1873)

Nicolas, S., & Makowski, D.

Bulletin de psychologie, 2017

The first of two papers marking the centenary of Théodule Ribot's death, following how the founder of modern French psychology first reached print with the Parisian publisher Ladrange. It covers the 1870 book on English psychology whose introduction reads as the founding manifesto of the new French psychology, and the 1873 doctoral thesis on psychological heredity that already holds much of what came later.

Abstract

Le centenaire de la disparition de Ribot est l’occasion d’apporter la lumière sur l’œuvre de ce fondateur de la psychologie française moderne. Les livres de Ribot seront diffusés chez les plus grands éditeurs français de l’époque. Les auteurs de l’article s’intéressent à la présentation de l’œuvre de jeunesse de Ribot, publiée chez l’éditeur parisien Jean-Baptiste Ladrange. Durant la période 1870-1873, Ribot publiera un premier livre sur la psychologie anglaise (1870), dont l’introduction peut être considérée comme le manifeste fondateur de la nouvelle psychologie française, puis sa thèse de doctorat (1873) sur la question de l’hérédité psychologique, qui porte en germe bien des éléments de son œuvre future.

Reality Bending Lab

Exploring the neuropsychology of reality and its distortions.

The Reality Bending Lab, led by Dominique Makowski at the University of Sussex in Brighton, UK, conducts world-leading research on reality perception, illusions, fake news, AI-beliefs, deception and its links with emotions, cognitive control and the Self. Using recording signals from the body (ECG, EDA…) and the brain (EEG), we analyse data using advanced modelling (Bayesian statistics, chaos theory, computational models) and develop open-source tools to improve neuropsychological science.

Brighton is the sunniest city in the UK and, by some margin, its most cheerfully strange — on the sea, an hour from London. The University of Sussex sits just above it in the South Downs, and its School of Psychology is one of the largest and strongest in the country.

It is famous for its research on consciousness and interoception, with scientists like Anil Seth, Andy Clark, Zoltan Dienes and Hugo Critchley, its teaching of cutting-edge psychological methods (with stats rockstar Andy Field), its history of multidisciplinary research (arts and science), and its radical engagement in open and disruptive science.
