Paperback. Condition: Fair. When I began to study psychology a half century ago, it was defined as "the study of behavior and experience." By the time I completed my doctorate, shortly after the end of World War II, the last two words were fading rapidly. In one of my first graduate classes, a course in statistics, the professor announced on the first day, "Whatever exists, exists in some number." We dutifully wrote that into our notes and did not pause to recognize that thereby all that makes life meaningful was being consigned to oblivion. This bland restructuring-perhaps more accurately, destruction-of the world was typical of its time, 1940. The influence of a narrow scientistic attitude was already spreading throughout the learned disciplines. In the next two decades it would invade and tyrannize the "social sciences," education, and even philosophy. To be sure, quantification is a powerful tool, selectively employed, but too often it has been made into an executioner's axe to deny actuality to all that does not yield to its procrustean demands.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2008 Brill hardcover edition. Unread copy in very good condition. From the cover: Throughout the Middle Ages dialectical disputation was the prevailing method of scholarly inquiry. In the fifteenth century, however, humanists challenged the scholastic method, proposing instead historical and philological approaches. This volume focuses on the polemic over the right approach to biblical studies. It describes manifestations of the controversy, ranging from its beginnings in quattrocento Italy to Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands, and scholars associated with the papal court in the sixteenth century. Erasmus, the most prominent biblical humanist of his day, served as a lightning rod for many of the controversies discussed here and has also received much attention from modern scholars. The chapters offered here seek to lend a voice also to Erasmus' critics and to right the balance in a historical narrative that has traditionally favoured the humanists. Contents: Preliminary Materials: Erika Rummel Introduction. Scholasticism and biblical humanism in early modern Europe (Erika Rummel) Criticism of biblical humanists in quattrocento Italy (John Monfasani) Erasmus, the intellectuals, and the Reuchlin affair (Daniel Menager) Antonio Nebrija's biblical scholarship (Carlos Del Valle Rodriguez) Anti-erasmianism in Spain (Alejandro Coroleu) Vives and the pseudodialecticians (Charles Fantazzi) Attacks on the biblical humanism of Jacques Lefevre D'Etaples (Guy Bedouelle) Noel Beda and the defense of the tradition (James K.
