Description:Readers interested in modern psychology rarely have time to explore the history of their subject and are often deterred by lack of a small book on which to begin. Stimulating encounter with great writers of the past and the insight into present problems which they offer are therefore liable to be overlooked. It is hard, too, without some knowledge of the way in which a complex subject has developed to appreciate its basic assumptions and its relations to other fields of culture.This book provides both an introduction to the history of psychology and a vantage point from which to consider the present. For it takes a main theme of psychological interest (that of the relation of mind and body) illustrates, by liberal quotation, its treatment by Western thinkers, and thereby sketches the development of psychology itself.The quotations range from Homer and Hippocrates by way of Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, and Spinoza to William James and Sherrington. It will encourage readers to explore the past for themselves and return to modern thought with more understanding of the foundations on which it rests.pre-ISBN bookWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
