Rövid leírás:
By examining key psychologists from the past, this book shows why examples are so important and theory is over-valued.
Hosszú leírás:
In his new book, Michael Billig uses psychology's past to argue that nowadays, when we write about the mind, we should use more examples and less theory. He provides a series of historical studies, analysing how key psychological writers used examples. Billig offers new insights about famous analysts of the mind, such as Locke, James, Freud, Tajfel and Lewin. He also champions unfairly forgotten figures, like the Earl of Shaftesbury and the eccentric Abraham Tucker. There is a cautionary chapter on Lacan, warning what can happen when examples are ignored. Marie Jahoda is praised as the ultimate example: a psychologist from the twentieth century with a social and rhetorical imagination fit for the twenty-first. More Examples, Less Theory is an easy-to-read book that will inform and entertain academics and their students. It will particularly appeal to those who enjoy the details of examples rather than the simplifications of big theory.
'In this highly readable work, Michael Billig makes a compelling argument that good examples do far more to advance and enliven theory than fancy jargon ever could. Students and seasoned writers of psychology will find inspiration in his engaging investigation into some of the most effective communicators in psychology's past.' Alexandra Rutherford, York University, Toronto
