The Psychology of Science and the Origins of the Scientific Mind. By Gregory J. Feist. Yale University Press.
Submitted by iw on August 12, 2006 – 11:06 amNo Comment
In this book, Gregory Feist reviews and consolidates the scattered literatures on the psychology of science, then calls for the establishment of the field as a unique discipline. He offers the most comprehensive perspective yet on how science came to be possible in our species and on the important role of psychological forces in an individual’s development of scientific interest, talent, and creativity. Without a psychological perspective, Feist argues, we cannot fully understand the development of scientific thinking or scientific genius.
