Reviews
“This book—different from many written in psychology—is a masterful exposure of basic ideas that have lingered on for two millennia. The reader can have the pleasure of thinking together with the author. It is a rare treat of honest intellectual sharing.” ( Jaan Valsiner, Aalborg University, Denmark)
