Recenzii
'This book presents abundant evidence for the pluralism in William James's understanding of the human thought and action. It documents James's close reading of psychological and philosophical research and theorizing and shows that he intuited the directions of later psychological science. Holding this book's insights alongside the work of contemporary psychology offers potential to 'stretch the boundaries of psychological science.' For James's deliberate explorations, Araujo and Osbeck are sure-footed and intelligent guides.' Paul Croce, Stetson University
'This book gives a lucid overview of the pluralistic position(s) articulated by William James and teases out insights we might glean from James for contemporary discussions about pluralism in psychology. The authors reconstruct how James's views about pluralism evolved over time and take a broad view of how they fit within (but are not reducible to) other well-known aspects of James intellectual project. An important contribution to the James scholarship, opening up exciting new avenues for future research in theoretical psychology.' Uljana Feest, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany
'Araujo and Osbeck's volume marks the most thorough examination to date of the nature and implications of the many uses of 'pluralism' in contemporary psychology. The authors stimulate reflection on these uses in relation to a broad range of William James's scholarly productions and correspondence, a formidable task to which the authors bring nuance, humility, and insightfulness.' Kevin P. Weinfurt, Duke University
'Saulo Araujo and Lisa Osbeck have written a scholarly masterpiece that takes the pluralistic bull by its historical, disciplinary, and conceptual-analytic horns, shedding much-needed light on a much-used concept. In demonstrating how various contemporary positions on pluralism reflect and depart from James's views, the authors open 'new paths for encouraging psychologists to reflect on James's pluralistic philosophy.' Ever Not Quite is sure to inspire new ways to tackle psychology's age-old problems – be they metatheoretical, theoretical, methodological, or practical. I predict it will become a classic in our time and beyond.' Barbara S. Held, Bowdoin College, USA
