Description
This guide presents an overview of the historical and philosophical foundations of psychology ranging from the Ionian physicists of 6th century BC to the 20th-century systems of psychology. It focuses on the evolution of ideas as they are transformed from epoch to epoch. This fourth edition includes a chapter on Eastern psychology, covering the history of psychology from traditions in Persia/Iran, India, China and Japan. It reveals the major developments in Eastern psychology and contrasts philosophical assumptions about human existence which may be divergent in East and West. It also updates sections on recent trends, with particular emphasis on neuroscience and cognitive science. Pedagogical aids, such as maps, diagrams, time-lines, illustrations and contextual references, are integrated throughout. - from Amzon
