From William James to Ivan Pavlov, John Dewey to Sigmund Freud, the Wrzburg School to the Chicago School, psychology has spanned centuries and continents.

In "Between Mind and Nature," Roger Smith explores the history of psychology and its relation to religion, politics, the arts, social life, the natural sciences, and technology.aConsidering the big questions bound up in the history of psychology, Smith investigates what human nature is, awhether psychology can provide answers to human problems, andawhether the notion of being an individual depends on social and historical conditions. He also asksawhether a method of rational thinking exists outside the realm of natural science. Posing important questions about the value and direction of psychology today, "Between Mind and Nature" is a cogently written book for those wishing to know more about the quest for knowledge of the mind."
