{"product_id":"the-wiley-handbook-of-theoretical-and-philosophical-psychology","title":"The Wiley Handbook of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the chief antidotes to the narrowness and overspecialization of contemporary psychology is critical thinking, or as my ex-philosophy professor called it, \"talk about talk.\"  This volume fairly brims with \"talk about talk,\" and as a result brilliantly widens the scope of our understanding about how and why we behave as we do. I highly recommend this volume to all those who seek to illuminate--in vivid and concrete detail--the array of philosophical contexts in psychology, and by implication, the very edges of our inquiry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKirk Schneider, Ph.D.,\u003c\/b\u003e Adjunct faculty, Saybrook University and Teachers College, Columbia University; author of \u003ci\u003eThe Polarized Mind and Existential-Integrative Therapy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA volume of vast scope that provides an indispensable resource for anyone undertaking a serious study of almost any field of psychological inquiry. Presenting original ideas as well as authoritative overviews, the chapters of this book are remarkable for their foundational quality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKurt Danziger\u003c\/b\u003e, Professor Emeritus, York University, Canada\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis Handbook is a treasure trove of papers that both analyze the historical and philosophical basis of contemporary theories and methods in experimental psychology and its applied off-shoots, and recommend carefully crafted alternative theoretical paradigms for psychology’s future. A major contribution to the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRonald B.

I especially appreciate the chapters that examine how work in psychology at large is historically situated and the chapters that illustrate how consideration of fundamental philosophical matters can make contributions to our understanding of specific substantive issues in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael A.
