    EXCELLENT IN DELINEATING THE HISOTRY OF PHILOSOPHY AND EARLY PSYCHOLOGY,. BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN AND COMPREHENSIVE

    With a BA in Philosophy and MA in Experimental Psychology and a fascination for historical persepectives on issues, i found this book to be engagingly interesting with intimate perspectives on the figures of the time in the two disaplines and other notables in the academic culture and overlapping areas. i have read this book (on tape, i am now blind), many times. i find it fascinating. if i were teaching again, i would surely hold a seminar for granduate students in both philosophy and psychology...and education as well.

    Where was Sidney Hook?

    This book does for pragmatism what The Irrational Man did for existentialism; and Menand is another William Barrett. But why wasn't Sidney Hook even mentioned, let alone profiled? Hook embodies what, in my mind, is best about pragmatism- a secular courage and dogged pursuit of justice, without resort to empty ideals. He was active and affective, while fully aware of the open ended, pluralist nature of the world. In spite if this ommission this was a joy to read.
