This book explores and provides an overview of the Norwegian
psychologist Jan Smedslund's life work on Psycho-logic. His
contributions to science have been radical not only in challenging the
empirical foundation of psychology, but also in seeking to develop a
viable alternative. This book brings together various reflections on his
key contributions from the 1960s to the present day.
The volume features three chapters by Jan Smedslund, offering his
updated views on psychological science and psychotherapy. It also
features contributions from several scholars that critically evaluates
his legacy. His seminal ideas are discussed, revised and expanded upon
and the questions raised are put in relevant historical and
interdisciplinary context.
Respect for Thought is a valuable resource for psychological
researchers, historians of psychology, cultural psychologists, critical
psychologists, theoretical psychologists, clinical psychologists and
psychotherapists, social scientists, philosophers of psychology, and
philosophers of science.
