This is a superb book. It succeeds beautifully at its goal―to provide a philosophically oriented historical review of psychology and show the relevance of this philosophical work to contemporaru issues. The scope is broad, and the writing is clear and eloquent.
―Paul Bloom, University of ArizonaThis beautiful and delightfully readable collection of historical sketches follows the development of Western theories of cognition through 2500 years, from Plato and the Bible to Watson and the Gestalt school. Macnamara stresses how each of these theories bears on contemporary unsolved issues of categorization, learning, and morality, paying special attention to the crucial distinction between perception and cognition. The connections thus drawn challenge all cognitive scientists to think more deeply about the foundations of their own research agendas.
―Ray Jackendoff, Professor of Linguistics, Brandeis UniversityThis book contains the illuminating historical reflection on cognition and perception of the late John Macanamara. The fresh and easy style of the book makes it especially useful for students.
