Habent sua fata libelli: psicología, de H. Delgado y M.Iberico. esencia y destino de un clásico

Abstract

Psicología (Psychology), an important book written by two Peruvian authors, Honorio Delgado and Mariano Iberico, is reviewed in this paper. Psicología was a "best-seller'', with nine ediúons between 1933 and 1969 (a record for Peruvian standards in psychologicalliterature) and hada great influence on the development of psychology in the Andean country. The ideas of French and German psychologists and philosophers (specially Henri Bergson and Max Scheler) were influenúal on the authors of this book. A European atmosphere is evident with sorne neglect for the American contributions to psychology.
