THE WORLD OF PSYCHOLOGY Volume I: the Worlds of Perception; Man and His Emotions. Volume II: Identity and Motivation (in Slipcase)

New York: George Braziller, 1965. Volume 1 - 563 pages, Volume 2 - 583 pages. An attempt to bring together some of the psychological literature of the past century. "In this book, we have tried to bring together some of the psychological literature of the past century, its sources in classical philosophy and pertinent fiction . In so doing, we have included the findings of both the rational and analytic schools. Occasionally, the fiction emerges as a case study. Equally often, however, we can perceive the Janus-face of the relationship: the fiction itself offers us a profound psychological knowledge that transcends our intellectual awareness of meaning and offers us an emotional experience of truth that is more vital and compelling than any psychological study-in-depth could hope to be.
