Críticas:
"The new movement toward cognitive science stands on the realization that psychological questions will only give way to combinations of analytic and synthetic approaches. There have been by now a fair number of books that have "said" this, but I have rarely seen writing that "teaches" this with the grace and precision of this book."--Sheldon H. White, Professor of Psychology, Harvard University
Reseña del editor:
This is a lucid and penetrating introduction to the philosophical assumptions and implications of several major psychological theories. It critically analyzes the theories of such major figures as Descartes, William James, Freud, Skinner, Piaget, and Kohlberg, as well as significant contemporary movements such as cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, and sociobiology.The book makes an original contribution by showing how such traditional philosophical problems as the nature of the mind-body relation, knowledge of other minds, free-will, unity of consciousness, personal identity, self-knowledge, intentionality, rationality, and reductionism figure within psychology and how psychology contributes to the solution of these philosophical problems.
