Psychology Cannot Establish Laws of Human Nature
To regard such a positive mental science [psychology] as rising above the sphere of history, and establishing the permanent and unchanging laws of human nature, is therefore possible only to a person who mistakes the transient conditions of a certain historical age for the permanent conditions of human life.
R. G. Colling Wood, The Idea of History (2008-11-30)
Notes
Because, like history, it is a transient thing.
