Rezensionen

"Reflecting a lifetime of research and teaching in modern psychology and sympathetic study of its most eloquent writer, David Leary has produced a thorough and readable guide to William James's classic text. It is a reference guide and more. Leary explains James's ideas in the contexts of his own development, in the contexts of the emerging New Psychology of the late nineteenth century, and in their creative relation with later psychology and philosophy. This is magisterial coverage of a masterwork."

Paul Croce, Stetson University, USA, and former President of the William James Society

"David Leary's ground-breaking book walks readers carefully through James's masterpiece, without losing the forest for the trees. Leary shows us something that has been elusive in the literature: how the Principles of Psychology, with all its rich details, hangs together as a whole."

Alexander Klein, California State University, Long Beach, USA
