Abstract:
Prof. Liu Zeru is a famous psychologist and educationalist in China in the 20th century. Early in the 1930s, he had already started to use the epistemology of dialectical materialism as a guide, and finally put forward his original and fairly comprehensive personality theory-dialectically cognitive personality theory and set up his ideological system in educational psychology. In more than half a century, Prof. Liu did so much ground breaking studies in psychology and education, and made outstanding contributions to improving the scientific nature of psychology and promoting the development of psychological theories in China. However,in the early days of new China when the scholars in academia were influenced by Soviet Russia.Period, Porf. Liu was misunderstood, censured and suppressed for a long time because he criticized that Pavlov's theory was mechanical materialistic.Therefore it is our inescapable responsibility to reconsider, study, and develop the dialectically cognitive personality theory and the educational psychology thought of Liu Zeru.
