商品簡介
Certain ideas have preoccupied thinkers since ancient times: the nature of mind, thesources 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 ofthinkers from antiquity to the present day and argues for their importance not just as precursors ofmodern views but as ideas that are frequently better than current ones. We can get good advice, hewrites, 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 livesand on the treatment of psychopathology--as do Berkeley, Hume, John Stuart Mill, Johann FriedrichHerbart, Wilhelm Wundt, William James, Sigmund Freud, and B. F. Skinner. Malone begins with thenaturalistic and mystical strains of early Greek thought, moves on to Platonism and the world ofForms (and considers parallels between the thought of Plato and Freud), and discusses "AncientSelf-Help Therapies" (including Epicureanism). He investigates the psychological insights ofEnlightenment thinkers including Francis Bacon and Galileo, Locke's and Kant's theories ofexperience, and Darwin's evolutionary thinking. He charts the rise of modern psychology and thebeginning of "biological psychology." He examines the work of Wundt, Titchener, Freud,Peirce, and James, among others, and describes the ideas of behaviorism, Gestalt psychology, andcognitive science. Malone's history offers both breadth and depth, an engaging style and rigorousscholarship, demonstrating vividly the relevance of the great historical psychologicalthinkers.
