Juan Luis Vives (Ioannes Lodovicus Vives in Latin), also Joan Lluís Vives i March (Valencian pronunciation: [ʒuˈaɲ ʎuˈiz ˈvivez i ˈmaɾk]) or Jan Ludovicus Vives (Dutch pronunciation: [jɑn lydoːvikys vivɛs]) (6 March 1493[1] – 6 May 1540), was a Valencian scholar and humanist who spent most of his entire adult life in the Southern Netherlands. His beliefs on the soul, insight to early medicine practice, and perspective on emotions, memory and learning earned him the title of the "father" of modern psychology. Vives was the first to shed light on some key ideas that established how we perceive psychology today.
