Overview
This book is a compilation of papers by a cross-section of European and North American scholars from the International Society for Theoretical Psychology. The papers were selected to represent the multifaceted nature of theoretical psychology as it attempts to deal with the myriad range of questions raised for psychology in the post-positivist era in the philosophy of science. Any reader interested in the social sciences will find topics of interest in the set. Since we can no longer take the fundamental principles of these sci- ences for granted, these papers will provide an opening dialogue on our future development.Editorials
