Product Description
A challenger of traditions and boundaries A pivotal figure in 20th-century philosophy, Nelson Goodman has made seminal contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics, and the philosophy of language, with surprising connections that cut across traditional boundaries. In the early 1950s, Goodman, Quine, and White published a series of papers that threatened to torpedo fundamental assumptions of traditional philosophy. They advocated repudiating analyticity, necessity, and prior assumptions. Some philosophers, realizing the seismic effects repudiation would cause, argued that philosophy should retain the familiar framework. Others considered the arguments compelling, but despaired of doing philosophy without the framework. Goodman disagreed with both factions. Rather than regretting the loss of structure, he capitalized on the opportunities that arise when the strictures of tradition are loosened.

Juni 1970 in Kalifornien) war ein amerikanischer Psychologe. Er gilt als der wichtigste Gründervater der Humanistischen Psychologie, die als sogenannte „Dritte Kraft" zwischen krankheitsorientierter Psychoanalyse und behavioristischer Verhaltenstheorie eine Psychologie seelischer Gesundheit anstrebte und die menschliche Selbstverwirklichung untersuchte. Maslow war das Älteste von 7 Kindern. Seine Eltern waren jüdisch-russische Immigranten. Seine Kindheit beschreibt Maslow als unglücklich und isoliert. Er hatte keine Freunde und verbrachte viel Zeit in Bibliotheken. Maslow studierte an der University of Wisconsin-Madison, wo er 1930 den Grad des B.A. und 1931 den des M.A. erhielt und 1934 in Psychologie promoviert wurde. 1937 erhielt er eine Professur am Brooklyn College der City University of New York, 1951 wechselte er nach Boston zur Brandeis University. 1967 wurde Maslow als „Humanist des Jahres" geehrt. Sein Projekt, eine der humanistischen Psychologie entsprechende Philosophie und Ethik zu entwickeln, blieb unvollendet. Maslow starb am 8. Juni 1970 an einem Herzinfarkt. Er ist insbesondere durch die Maslowsche Bedürfnispyramide bekannt geworden, die ein Entwick...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=80881 ... Read more
