Featured Article: Clark L. Hull
Clark Leonard Hull (May 24, 1884 – May 10, 1952) was an influential American psychologist and learning theorist in behaviorism. He sought to explain learning and motivation by scientific laws of behavior. Clark Hull's most important contribution to psychology lies in his theory of learning, considered one of the most important learning theories of the twentieth century. He also conducted research demonstrating that his theories could predict and control behavior, and inspired many of his students to continue to develop his theories and maintain his high standards of scientific method in the field of psychology.
Popular Article: Gandharva
Gandharvas refers to a group of low-ranking male nature deities that appear in both Hindu, Buddhist, and sometimes even Jain mythology. In all three traditions, the gandharvas are closely related to the wilderness as well as the creative arts, particularly music. Gandharvas also have symbolic connections with procreation and sexuality, including the Hindu institution of "Gandharva marriage," a consensual union of husband and wife who have consummated their relationship before any sort of ceremonial union.
