About the book
In this book, John Macnamara shows how a number of important thinkers through the ages have approached problems of mental representation and the acquisition of knowledge. He discusses the relevance of these approaches to modern cognitive psychology, focusing on central themes that he believes have strongly influenced modern psychology. This is not a neutral historical survey, but a vehicle for Macnamara's arguments on the relevance and worth of certain aspects of psychological and philosophical thought. The historical figures discussed are quite varied--from Plato to Thomas Jefferson to Sigmund Freud--and include numerous Christian philosophers such as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. --From publisher's description.
