"A learned, detached examination of the well springs of modern psychology.As a university discipline, psychology came into its own in the early part of the twentieth century in the shadow of the positivism of the Vienna Circle. To the extent thatpsychology has been colored by the shallowness of positivism, it has beendisadvantaged in both theory and in practice.Aphilosophy which effectivelylimits scientific inquiry todescription and prediction has little explanatory power. Grice shows clearly the limitations of such a methodand argues for a return to the common sense realism of Aristotle and its recognition of the explanatory value of the metaphysical concept of human nature and irs role in causal explanation. Rarely since the work of Mortimer Adler has there been such an indepthstudy of the philosophical bias of much contemporary research in psychology."--Jude P. Dougherty, Editor. Review of Metaphysics
