Produktinformationen zu „Psychology: Pythagoras to Present “
Certain ideas have preoccupied thinkers since ancient times: the nature of mind, the sources of knowledge and belief, the nature of the self, ethics and the best way to lead our lives, the question of free will. In this book, John Malone examines these ideas in the writings of thinkers from antiquity to the present day and argues for their importance not just as precursors of modern views but as ideas that are frequently better than current ones. We can get good advice, he writes, from the writings of the best thinkers of the past. Pythagoras, Thales, Plato, Protagoras, Aristotle, Diogenes, and Epictetus all offer tried and tested ideas on how we should lead our lives and on the treatment of psychopathology--as do Berkeley, Hume, John Stuart Mill, Johann Friedrich Herbart, Wilhelm Wundt, William James, Sigmund Freud, and B. F. Skinner.

Rezension zu „Psychology: Pythagoras to Present “
¿With few exceptions, histories of psychology generally ignore the larger cultural and intellectual contexts in which specific contributions are made. Malone's book is most welcome in this respect, for he locates the central psychological ideas of the major figures within just such contexts. The author writes with clarity and conviction, includes relieving asides, and offers just enough gossip to lighten the reader's burden.¿ ¿Daniel N. Robinson, The Review of Metaphysics
