As the 21st Century opened, the discipline of psychology seemed to
be separating into two radically distinct domains. Qualitative and
Cultural Psychology focused on the discursive means for the
management of meaning in a world of norms, while Neuropsychology
and Neuroscience focused on the investigation of brain processes.
These two domains can be reconciled in a hybrid science that brings
them together into a synthesis more powerful than anything
psychologists have achieved before. For the first time, there is
the possibility of a general psychology in which the biological and
the cultural aspects of human life coalesce into a unitas
multiplex, unity in diversity. This textbook ambitiously aims to
and succeeds in providing this unity. Fathali M. Moghaddam and Rom
Harre have designed a textbook brought together with additional
voices that speak to the similarities and differences of these two
seemingly distinctive domains. This bridge-building will encourage
a new generation of undergraduate students studying psychology to
more fully appreciate the real potential for the study of human
behaviour, and as such it will represent a more provocative
alternative to standard general psychology textbooks. It also
support teaching in a host of courses, namely 2nd and 3rd courses
on the conceptual and philosophical nature of psychology, social
psychology, critical psychology and cognitive science. Selectively,
it will also represent a very interesting and different choice for
foundation level students too.
