This is, of course, a very complicated question -- one best handled by looking ant any one of the many textbooks on the history of psychology that are available. Dan Robinson's _Intellectual History of Psychology_ might be particularly good on this point.

Another good source is Robert Brodie MacLeod's The Persistent Problems of Psychology.

A relatively brief but also useful source is:

Henryk Misiak (1961), The philosophical roots of scientific psychology. New York: Fordham University Press.
