James A. Harold

Rationality within Modern Psychological Theory

Integrating Philosophy and Empirical Science

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Rationality within Modern Psychological Theory examines the rational and irrational dimensions of human nature and of the psyche and logos. Harold combines the traditionally divided views of classical philosophy's affirmation of the existence of intellect and modern psychology's emphasis on immanent psychological factors over rational, transcendent relations. By accepting the power of being in an adequate relation to reality, while still admitting the manifold ways that people evade truth and reality, psychologists will be able to emphasize the power of an individual to establish a truthful relation with reality. This book is recommended for scholars of psychology and philosophy.
