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
better known 'founders', such as Galton, Fechner, Wundt and Watson,
appeared on the scene. Psychology can only achieve its full breadth
and potential when we fully appreciate its scholarly legacy. Bruce
Alexander and Curtis Shelton also argue that the fundamental
contradictions built into psychology's history have never been
resolved, and 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 fully engage
the future.
