It offers a timely survey of current ideas at the crossroads of these disciplines and represents new ideas about how psychology can respond to changes on what it means to be human and on how to further this knowledge. The convergence of history, theory, and philosophy is examined from three perspectives: the reconsideration of the importance of context in psychology; the argument that psychology is embedded in morality, values, and politics; and the consideration of the practice of such convergence, looking at how history, theory, and philosophy function in psychology. This book presents contemporary thinking by noted scholars who have made significant contributions to a re-visioning of psychology.PsychologyPhilosophyPsychologyHistoryPsychologyPhilosophy.PsychologyHistory.150/.1Hill Darryl B.1963-1706494Kral Michael J.1956-1706495MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819907203321About psychology4093948UNINA
