Philosophy, Psychiatry and Neuroscience--Three Approaches to the Mind: A Synthetic Analysis of the Varieties of Human Experience

by Edward M. Hundert

In this book Hundert proposes a new, unified view of the mind, one that integrates the insights of philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists. Through a detailed discussion of major theories from these and related disciplines, he gradually reveals links between what were previously unconnected approaches to human thought and experience.

[Frank Spencer]

Here, the author writes about what we can know, and how we know it. He summarizes information (very well) from Philosophy (Kant, Hegel, Fodor), Psychology (PIaget, Freud) and Neuroscience (Hubel, Wiesel, Edelman). He finds lots of connections between the information from these fields. He gives some implications for education, therapy, and research. I got a lot out of this book. My copy was previously owned by William H. Johns, who was at the Menninger Clinic in Topeka.
