{"product_id":"books-psychology-by-william-james","title":"Psychology","description":"\u003cp\u003eToday's scholars know James's psychology primarily through his great \u003ci\u003ePrinciples of Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e (1890), but those who studied the subject at the turn of the century were more apt to learn his view through his \u003ci\u003ePsychology: Briefer Course\u003c\/i\u003e (1892). Indeed, professors at colleges and universities throughout the United States use this book--which their students labeled Jimmy to distinguish it from the larger James--in their classes, and more than six times as many copies of the \u003ci\u003eBriefer Course\u003c\/i\u003e were sold by 1902 as were sets of \u003ci\u003ePrinciples\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDespite its title, the \u003ci\u003eBriefer Course\u003c\/i\u003e is more than a simple condensation of the larger work. For example, to the material from \u003ci\u003ePrinciples\u003c\/i\u003e James added several chapters on the physiology of the senses that helped mesh his psychology with the other sciences of the period. The earlier chapter title The Stream of Thought is replaced here with The Stream of Consciousness. \u003ci\u003ePsychology: Briefer Course\u003c\/i\u003e remains a useful and highly readable introduction to James's views on psychology and is an essential source for anyone interested in studying all of his psychological writings.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672519172369,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780486416045.jpg?v=1781520072","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-psychology-by-william-james","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
