Book Description

Publication Date: January 1997 | ISBN-10: 1557984158 | ISBN-13: 978-1557984159

When the intellectual history of the twentieth century is written, Kurt Lewin will surely be counted as one of those few men whose work changed fundamentally the course of social science in its most critical period of development. During his professional life . . . the social sciences grew from the stage of speculative system building . . . to a more mature development in which empirical data are sought for the significance they can have for systemic theories. One reason for this breadth of influence is that much of his work concerned itself with determining the methodological and conceptual prerequisites for a mature science of human behavior." --from the Foreword to Field Theory in Social Science by Dorwin Cartwright APA is proud to reissue these two classics by Kurt Lewin, Resolving Social Conflicts and Field Theory in Social Science, in one comprehensive volume.

This review is from: Resolving Social Conflicts and Field Theory in Social Science: (Paperback)

An opportunity to read some of Lewin's original works. Lewin is very readable and easy to understand. If you're needing to read primary sources, this book provides a wonderful opportunity to read the papers in chronological order.
