Description
One of the most influential social scientists of the 20th century, Kurt Lewin continues to exercise significant influence on contemporary psychological theory, research and practice. Today's scholars frequently cite his thought and research, but Lewin's original writings are increasingly difficult to find. Now, "The Complete Social Scientist: A Kurt Lewin Reader" makes available 15 out-of-print articles, including two never before available in English translation. This wide-ranging collection acquaints contemporary scholars with Lewin's fundamental work. The articles offer evidence of the workings of an innovative mind engaged in the philosophy of science in social, personality, motivation and developmental psychology; in applying psychology to the amelioration of social problems; and in formulating social policy. Each article in this anthology remains a relevant contribution to the world's culture. Together, they reflect the extraordinary range of Lewin's intellectual activity as a philosopher of science, research psychologist, applied psychologist and sage.
