Abraham Maslow

    April 1, 1908 – June 8, 1970

    Abraham Maslow was a psychologist known for his theory of the hierarchy of needs, outlining the steps toward self-actualization. He analyzed achievers, finding them to be reality-centered. His work explored themes of "peak experiences" that are not limited to the religious or supernatural, cautioning against the potential for selfishness in the pursuit of personal salvation. Maslow also delved into questions about why individuals fail to self-actualize even when basic needs are met, and how to humanistically understand the problem of evil.

      This is the article in which Maslow first presented his hierarchy of needs. It was first printed in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation". Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, some of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans. Maslow described various needs and used the terms "Physiological, Safety, Belongingness and Love, Esteem, Self-Actualization and Self-Transcendence" needs to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through. Maslow studied what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people.

      Motivation and Personality
    • 1968

      This book is a continuation of my Motivation and Personality, published in 1954. It was constructed in about the same way, that is, by doing one piece at a time of the larger theoretical structure. It is a predecessor to work yet to be done toward the construction of a comprehensive, systematic and empirically based general psychology and philosophy which includes both the depths and the heights of human nature.
