This book is a re-introduction to psychology. It focuses on great scholarly thinkers, beginning with Plato, Marcus Aurelius and St Augustine, who gave the field its foundational ideas long before Galton, Fechner, Wundt and Watson appeared on the scene. Only when we cease to ignore the legacy of the great scholars can psychology expand its breadth and potential. Bruce Alexander and Curt Shelton show that the fundamental contradictions built into psychology's scholarly history have never been resolved, and they argue that a truly pragmatic approach, as defined by William James, can produce a “layered” psychology that will enable psychologists to face the fearsome challenges of the twenty-first century. 'A History of Psychology in Western Civilization' claims that contemporary psychology has overemphasized the methods of physical science and that psychology will need a broader scientific orientation alongside a scholarly focus in order to cope with the future.
