Животът на героя
Детство
На 16 август 1832 г. Вунд е роден в Германия, град Некарау в Манхайм, Баден е четвъртото дете в семейството. Баща му е лутеран-пастор. .Вундта е по-голям брат на име Лудвиг, който е на 8 години по-голям от Вунд. Когато Вунд е на 2 години, брат му е изпратен при леля си къща в Хайделберг и посещавал училище там.

Университетски период
През 1851 г. Вунд постъпва в университета в Тубингент, за да изучава медицина.
In1852,hetransferredtoHeidelbergUniversitytostudymedicine.DuringhisstudiesatHeidelbergUniversity,Wundtstudiedveryhard.Onceinordertostudytheeffectofsaltonthebody,hecontrolledtheintakeofsaltinfoodforseveraldaysuntilthebodyhadmetabolicdisorders.Basedonthisresearch,hepublishedhisfirstarticle"OnSodiumChlorideinUrine"in1853.

Учител в Хайделберг
През 1857 г. Вунд открива курс по експериментална физиология в Хайделбергския университет. През същата година Вунд се разболява от тежко заболяване.
In1858,HermannvonHelmholtzcametoHeidelbergUniversityasaprofessorattheInstituteofPhysiology,andWundtbecamehislaboratoryassistant.
In1862,Wundtopenedthe"PsychologyofNaturalScience"course(laterchangedto"PhysiologicalPsychology"),andtheterm"experimentalpsychology"wasfirstproposedthatyear.Inthiscourse,hebegantostudypsychologyusingexperimentalmethodsfromnaturalsciencesandneurophysiologicalresearchresults.
През 1864 г. той е повишен в доцент.

Преподаването и пенсионирането на Лайпциг
През 1875 г. Вундтва е назначен за професор по философия в Лайпцигския университет и оттогава живее в Лайпциг.
InDecember1879,Wundtestablishedtheworld'sfirstpsychologylaboratoryintheuniversity.Atfirsttheschooldidnotsupporttheoperationofthislaboratory,butWundt’sclassesbecamemoreandmorepopular.In1882,thelaboratorymovedfromasingleroomtoanewaddresswith11rooms.In1897,thelaboratoryevenhadanindependentlaboratory.Ofthefloor.
През 1881 г. Вунд основава списанието "Философски изследвания". Това е първото професионално списание за експериментална психология.
1889-90, служи като президент на Лайпцигския университет.
През 1917 г. тук се пенсионира от преподаване и е наследен от своя ученик Феликс Крюгер.
SincecomingtoLeipzig,Wundthasalmostnevertraveled,excepttoenjoyconcerts,andisnotkeenonpublicactivities;however,heandhiswifeoftenentertainseniorstudentsandassistantsathome.LikeKant,Wundthasalwayslivedarigorousandregularlife.Thetimeinthemorningismainlyusedforwriting,andintheafternoonhevisitsthelaboratory,attendsclasses,andthentakesawalk.Wundtisfullofpassionandeloquenceintheclassroom,whichfullyreflectshisomnisciencetotheprofession.
На 31 август 1920 г. Вундт умира в Грейт Ботен близо до Лайпцигат на 88 години. През тази година е публикуван десеттетомният шедьовър „Национална психология“, който му отне 20 години да бъде завършен.

Изследователски задачи
Мислите на Вунд са повлияни от психологическите мисли на Хербарт, мислите на асоциативната психология след Лок и психохимичните мисли на Джон Мюлер. Задачата на науката е да изучава съставните елементи на психологическия комплекс и методите и законите на неговото конструиране, което казва, за да отговори на следните въпроси: (1) 2) Каква е структурата на психологическия комплекс; (3)) Какъв е законът за формиране на психичния комплекс?
Анализ на психологическите елементи
Wundtbelievesthatallpsychologicalphenomenaarecomposedofpsychologicalelements.Theanalysisofpsychologicalelementsisthefirstquestionthatpsychologymustanswer.Inhisview,thepsychologicalcomplexistheunityofpsychologicalelements;thepsychologicalelementisanindivisibleunitofthepsychologicalstructure,whichincludestwoaspects:sensationandemotion.Wundtpointedoutthatsensationisthebasicunitofpsychologicalelements,presentingtheobjectivecontentofhumanexperience.Andfeeling(feeling)showsthesubjectivecontentofhumanexperience,whichisthesubjectivesupplementoffeelingelements.Wundtbelievesthatfeelingsandemotionsareinterrelated,andsimpleemotionsareproducedwithfeelings.
Wundt вярва, че чувствата не могат да се опишат само от гледна точка на удоволствие и неприятност, но трябва да се опишат в три измерения, за да бъдат по-точни, а именно: (1)приятно-неприятно; (2)напрежение-отпускане;(Три)възбуда-спокойствие.Поради това предложи триизмерната теория за усещането през 1896 г.
Структура на умствения комплекс

Законът за формиране на психологическия комплекс

„Принос към теорията на сетивното възприятие“ (1862)
В тази книга Вунд предложи концепцията за „експериментална психология“ за първи път. Смята се, че тази книга, заедно с „Очертанията на психофизиката“ на Фехнер, са довели до раждането на нова психология (т.е. експериментална психология).

Психологическа независимост
Въпреки че психологията има дълга история ,тя нямаше независим статут за дълго време поради сложността и несигурността на обектите на изследване.С развитието на капиталистическата индустрия и напредъка на науката и технологиите, призивът за независимост на психологията стана все по-висок и по-висок.Хербарт обяви за първи път, че психологията е наука. измерване на психологически феномени и даде добър старт на експерименталната психология, но целта на неговото изследване беше да защити неговите философски възгледи, а не да създаде научна психология. През 1879 г. той ръководи създаването на първата в света лаборатория, посветена на изследване на топ психологията, и установява нова система за експериментална психология, използвайки експериментални методи, като по този начин официално провъзгласява установяването на психологията.
Thecreationofexperimentalpsychology

През 1896 г., когато важен немски вестник спомена Вунд, той го нарече „папата на психологията в континентална Европа“.
