'''Psychology''' is the systematic study and evaluation of [[mind]] and [[behavior]]. Scientists in the 1600s and 1700s felt that the mind was beyond the ability of science to study it. Beginning with Galvani, some began to feel that [[physical science]] could explain the [[human mind]]. However, an objective view would not reduce the mind to a mere manifestation of the brain. That is the view of materialist philosophers such as [[Feuerbach]] and [[Lenin]].
