5-0 out of 5 stars A wonderful study of a fascinating and important theorist
I do not have time now to write comprehensively about all the wonderful treasures I found in this book. There is the history of the industial mid-west around the turn of the last century, the intellectual climate of Harvard and Europe, especially Germany during the 1920s, also an account of an encounter between young Allport and Freud. What is revealed is the factors leading to the intellectual formation of Gordon Allport, a pre-eminent American psychologist. Unlike most others in his field, he was motivated by a deep and intense spiritual commitment. It is a great read, and should be of interest to many thoughtful people in general as well as to those psychologists, such as myself, who have been influenced by Allport's ideas. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Nice introduction but would need better illustrations
The book is excellent at what it's trying to do : introducing consciousness.
4-0 out of 5 stars Good, but just a starting point
This book is 171 pages, but much of the space is used by cartoons which don't add much content, so the amount of actual text in the book is rather limited.Since consciousness is acomplex and difficult subject (maybe THE fundamental subject), the small extent of the book makes it, at best, only a good preliminary starting point.Fortunately, that's exactly what the book is, since Papineau knows his subject well and makes efficient use of the few words available to him.
5-0 out of 5 stars Related to A.I. and Mind and Brain
I have just finished reading "Introducting Artificial Intelligence", "Introducing Mind & Brain", and "Introducing Consciousness" from Icon books.In reading these back to back, it reminded me that are all different views on the same subject.This was a rewarding experience for me.I recommend that you read these books together if you can. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars The Father of child abuse
Many of us have wondered, as we behold the explosion of pornography, contraception, abortion, sexual abuse of children, the AIDS crisis and the legal "right" to all kinds of immoral practices over the past 50 years, "How did it come to this? How has our nation become so corrupted?" This is the book that answers that question.
5-0 out of 5 stars The pedophiles and other sex deviants come out of the closet
It's amazing how a few people here criticize the author by saying that her research is flawed and then go on to defend Kinsey even though HIS research was fraudulent. The facts about Kinsey speak for themselves: He WAS a sexual deviant who engaged in a multitude of sexual masochistic acts with numorous "subjects" and "male researchers" in a SCREAM PROOF basement at IU. He WAS a racist who supported eugenics just like his associates in the NAZI party.
4-0 out of 5 stars Thank You, Dr. Reisman!
The following information is from the book: In the 1930s a homosexual, sadomasochistic zoologist specializing in insects, Alfred Kinsey, formulated a plan to subvert traditional views of sexual morality and replace them with an "absolutely anything goes" viewpoint. Pedophelia, child prostitution, incest, rape, sex with animals, homosexuality, sadomasochism, obsessive masturbation--all this was good and to be encouraged.

5-0 out of 5 stars Suspicious reviewing
Does anyone else think it suspicious that out of the eight reviews posted for this book to date, three are annonymous, offering exremely personal and hostile comments about the author?
5-0 out of 5 stars Noll gets it
well deserved razor sharp slashing of Richard "Hoo-Hmmm" Noll's books. I wonder why Noll rates himself as "scholar", and as Sonu demonstrates in this work, no one really should. In fact Sonu exposes the many levels of deceipt and manipulation spread in Noll's dishonest work.

3-0 out of 5 stars Nowhere near as bad as Noll, but not the reply he deserved
Noll's terrible attacks on Jung are just sensationalistic propaganda, and they deserved a detailed, thorough and entirely irrefutable response. Given Jung's status as the greatest psychological theorist of all time - comparedto him, Freud is nothing (and the Freudian organisations are far morecult-like than the Jungian ones - remember all those psychiatrists who wereexpelled from psychoanalytic societies, even after Freud's death, simplyfrom refusing to dogmatically assert that all his theories are true!) -such a response to Noll would easily be achievable by the properlyerudiate, learned scholar. Unfortunately, this book does not achieve that,and so is a completely wasted opportunity. So, while I am glad someone isresponding to the ranting, speculative nonsense of Noll, if someone readsthis and Noll, they will not be so convinced of Jung's innocence (andbrilliance) as they definitely should be (he deserves some long overduewider recognition) and as this book could have easily done so.Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A teacher's dream
I purchased this book for a graduate course I took and now that I teach psychology I use it all the time. It is great for personal reference and also as assigned reading for students. You are able to give them essaysfrom the great figures of psychology. Because it starts with the early guyslike Plato you can extend student's understanding of psych past Wundt. Someof the essays are difficult to read and younger students have some troubleif they don't review them a couple times. But even still, I highlyrecommend this book. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Read this book
Thoroughly researched, balanced, and dead-on in its critique of the Jung industry as a cynical, imbalanced sales force pedalling promises of mysticism to people, some of whom may be genuinely suffering and might benefit from assistance from trained psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists. The risks of Jungian interventions are simply too great, and this book uses exhaustive historical research to demonstrate why. I can see why Jungian analysts have been unhappy, but let's face it: you can't flirt with Naziism, tolerate sexual relationships with patients, practice occultism in therapy hours, plagiarize historical scholarship (on gnosticism, the patristic tradition, and the history of science), and engage in whatever behavior you choose simply because you think you can--and the example of Jung's life, if you took it seriously, would lead you exactly in that direction. The fact that it's immensely profitable is no excuse. Shame on you!
5-0 out of 5 stars Right on
What dynamic movement isn't in some way a cult? Jung's ideas and his followers should be challenged and re-challanged.
2-0 out of 5 stars Well, so what?
Frankly, this was a disappointment.I went back from it with far more sympathy for Jung - and far less for Noll - than I had believed possible; and that in spite of the fact that - after a juvenile pash for Jung more than twenty years ago - I have long since given up on psychoanalysis (and in particular on the doctrine of Archetypes) as a system of knowledge and explanation; and that I was and am not impressed with Jung's private life and his abuse of patient/doctor relationships.The basic problem with this book is the juvenile, unmeditated, unintelligent pseudo-rationalism at its heart.Noll is apparently under the impression that there is something called "the historical Christ" which contradicts the teachings of historical Christianity; and therefore he approves of Freud, in spite of the howlingly obvious elements of pseudo-science, self-justification and superstition, because Freud takes religion to be a disease in need of curing rather than a legitimate way to view the world.Conversely, he opposes Jung because Jung, however distant his view from any orthodox religion, justifies religion as a state of mind.This, of course, is the reason why Jung's success continues in spite of his more than dubious scientific standing; because, however you look at them, in terms of the most basic issues of human thought Freud is a jailer, chaining us to the lowest processes of our bodies and offering us nothing more liberating than sex, and Jung is the man who turns the key and sets us free.I regard neither of them as in any way scientific, reliable or intellectually sound, but I also regard the influence of Jung as infinitely less pestiferous than that of Freud - and I owe this view to Noll's book, because it placed starkly in my face the sheer ugliness of the motives of those who attack Jung and defend Freud. ...
