Psychology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162778310)

Psychology by John Dewey is a classic text that explores the fundamental principles of psychology from a philosophical perspective. The book is divided into three sections: the first section examines the nature of psychology and the methods used to study it; the second section explores the relationship between psychology and other sciences, such as biology and sociology; and the third section delves into the practical applications of psychology in areas such as education, social reform, and mental health.Throughout the book, Dewey emphasizes the importance of understanding psychology in the context of broader social and cultural factors. He argues that psychology cannot be understood in isolation from the larger world in which it operates, and that a deep understanding of psychology requires an understanding of the social, cultural, and historical context in which it arises.Written in clear and accessible prose, Psychology is an essential text for anyone interested in understanding the fundamental principles of psychology and their broader implications for society. Whether you are a student of psychology, a practicing psychologist, or simply interested in the field, this book provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking introduction to the subject.1886. From the Preface: How, then shall we unite the advantages of each class of textbooks? That is to say, how shall we make our psychology scientific and up to the times, free from metaphysics-which, however good in its place, is out of place in a psychology-and at the same time make it an introduction to philosophy in general? While I cannot hope to have succeeded in presenting a psychology which shall satisfactorily answer this question, it does appear to me an advantage to have kept this question in mind, and to have written with reference to it. I have accordingly endeavored to avoid all material not strictly psychological, and to reflect the investigations of scientific specialists in this branch; but I have also endeavored to arrange the material in such a way as to lead naturally and easily to the problems which the student will meet in his further studies, to suggest the principles along which they will find their solutions, and, above all, to develop the philosophic spirit.
