Quizplus · Accepted Answer

William James established an environment favorable for functionalism with his Principles of Psychology, which was a groundbreaking work that introduced the functionalist perspective to psychology. While James did contribute to the development of functional psychology, he did not found it. James also did not wrest psychology away from synthetic philosophy or nullify the influence of Wundt, but he did use pragmatism to recombine psychology and philosophy, which further supported the functionalist perspective.
