'John Maze's writings demonstrate an astounding breadth of interest and depth of analysis that covers over 50 years of psychology's recent development. A gifted and sensitive observer of the discipline, he brooked no fuzzy theorizing and tolerated neither pompous scientism nor faddish relativism. At home in psychoanalytic formulations as well as the scientific heartland of psychology, his analysis stands the test of time and remains an important guidepost to the discipline that psychology might yet be.' -Henderikus J. Stain, Editor, Theory & Psychology Born out of a time when psychology undergraduates actually read Freud, when philosophy and psychology departments regularly held joint seminars and theoretical work on the foundations of psychology was a valued academic activity, reading Maze's collected works could make one very nostalgic. In a comprehensive and sustained investigation that traverses behaviourism and psychoanalysis, through the so called 'cognitive revolution' to the post-structuralism of Derrida, Maze restores the rigour of philosophical analysis to the often unquestioned foundations of the major psychologies of the 20th century. This meticulously edited collection of papers ought to be required reading for a new generation of psychologists, psychoanalysts and philosophers. If the future of psychology is not to repeat the logical impasses and fruitless debates of its fragmented past, Maze's work is essential. -Andrew J. Lewis, Deakin University, Australia
