Beschreibung

First reprint edition of the 1901-1905 edition, with corrections. 3 volumes in 4, as issued. Ivory buckram. Very good. An extremely sturdy edition of this legendary, seminal reference work. James Mark Baldwin (1861? 1934) was an American philosopher and psychologist who was one of the founders of the Department of Psychology at Princeton and the University of Toronto. He made important contributions to early psychology, psychiatry, and to the theory of evolution. Baldwin was a co-founder (with James McKeen Cattell) of Psychological Review (which was founded explicitly to compete with G. Stanley Hall's American Journal of Psychology), Psychological Monographs and Psychological Index. He was also the founding editor of Psychological Bulletin. His work, as editor and chief of the the Dictionary of Philosophy and Psychology began a period of intense philosophical correspondence with the contributors to the project: William James, John Dewey, Charles Sanders Peirce, Josiah Royce, George Edward Moore, Bernard Bosanquet, James McKeen Cattell, Edward B. Titchener, Hugo Münsterberg, Christine Ladd-Franklin, Adolf Meyer, George Stout, Franklin Henry Giddings, Edward Bagnall Poulton and others. In 1899 Baldwin went to Oxford to supervise the completion of the Dictionary. It is considered one of the monuments of 20th century thought. Baldwin's contribution to this field places him at the heart of contemporary controversies in the fields of evolutionary psychology and wider sociobiology. Few people did more than Robert Wozniak (our co-founder of The Book House in Dinkytown) Professor of Psychology at Bryn Mawr College, for the rediscovery of the significance of James Mark Baldwin in the history of ideas.
