About the author
Born in Frankfurt am Main on January 21, 1875, Johannes Lindworsky was a German Jesuit, psychologist, and university teacher. Reliable reference sources identify him as an important Catholic scholar of psychology, and note that he died in Essen on September 9, 1939.
He entered the Society of Jesus in 1897 after attending the Kaiser-Friedrich-Gymnasium in Frankfurt. His career joined religious life with academic work, and he became known for teaching and writing on psychology, especially on topics such as the will and experimental psychology.
Lindworsky is still remembered through works including The Training of the Will and Experimentelle Psychologie. His writing reflects an effort to make psychological inquiry useful and intellectually serious while staying connected to larger philosophical questions.
