From AI to Zeitgeist: A Philosophical Guide for the Skeptical Psychologist (Contributions in Women's Studies)
?This is a collection of reflections on 90 different topics that bridge philosophy and psychology, including snippets from other fields. Besides the two entries mentioned in the title, others (picked more or less at random) include Cause and Effect'; Fashions in Science and Elsewhere'; Interbehavioral Psychology: An Introduction'; Metaphors'; Paradigms'; Reality: What is It?'; Sociobiology'; Tissue Excitation'; and XYY Chromosome and Criminality.' As this list indicates, the topics covered are wide ranging and probably idosyncratic to the author's interests. No attempt is made to provide exhaustive coverage of any entry; rather, the author succinctly presents his viewpoint or that of someone else. . . . I suspect that the book will serve most readers, as it did this reviewer, as a compendium of interesting tidbits and observations on a wide range of topics.?-Contemporary Psychology
