Product Description:
The Routledge Guidebook to James’s Principles of Psychology offers an engaging and accessible introduction to one of the most influential texts in the history of psychology. William James's Principles of Psychology had a profound impact on both the development of psychological science and the philosophy of pragmatism. This guidebook serves as a perfect resource for readers encountering James's work for the first time, as well as those seeking to understand its lasting influence on modern psychology and philosophy.
The book is structured into three main parts:
-
Background – Setting the stage for James's groundbreaking work and situating it in its historical context.
-
Principles – Providing clear and comprehensive explications of James’s central ideas and psychological principles.
-
Elaborations – Examining how James's ideas have been expanded and applied over time.
Additionally, the guide includes two appendices, offering insights into the sources James used for his chapters and comparing the coverage of Principles with two later texts James authored: an abbreviated version of Principles and a psychological primer aimed at teachers.
This Routledge Guidebook is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the fundamental ideas in William James's psychology and their relevance to contemporary psychological science and philosophical thought.
