Philosophic Classics: From Plato to Derrida

In 1913 Wilhelm Wundt published a paper entitled "Psychology's Struggle for Existence", which detailed the dangers of psychology's divorce from philosophy. The divorce did happen with psychology being entrenched in a discourse about bottom up mental processing, the result of environmental stimuli. This book allows a person to learn, not the rudiments, but the historicity of top down mental processing, the result of life's experience. This book covers about 2,400 years of human thought, and while each writing is presented as originally written, it is accompanied by a narrative that includes a dedicated bibliography, which in turn allows a reader to pursue their own interests. Without philosophy, Wundt's plea, the study of psychology is literally the study of an upscale primate.

this book is "okay" ... I won't use it again though ... I think Phil 1 students would be better off with a textbook which includes some written explanations and questions for thought ... if a student misses a day of class, they will have to turn to the internet for explanations of the readings

Bought as gift

Everything as expected

The product was as described. I was very happy with and would buy from this dealer again.

Great price for college book

The book did its job. However, it was really damaged, it had water marks and pages were falling off.

Excellent book! Great coverage of the Sophists, Milisians, Pre-Socratics, Socratics and Romans.
