KÖHLER par Victor Rosenthal & Yves-Marie Visetti Editions Les Belles Lettres, coll. Figures du Savoir Paris, 2003 284 pages ISBN : 2251760490 Prix : 14 € Gestalt : forme, figure, configuration, structure, ensemble… Ce mot de la langue allemande a donné son nom à l’un des courants majeurs de la psychologie du 20e siècle. Wolfgang Köhler (1887-1967), membre éminent de l’école gestaltiste de Berlin, en est incontestablement le représentant le plus brillant et le plus productif. Expérimentateur, théoricien, épistémologue, on lui doit la version la plus accomplie de la Gestalttheorie, qui est une théorie générale de la cognition, fondée sur le primat de la perception, en même temps qu’une théorie universelle des formes, ayant vocation à valoir dans une pluralité de champs de connaissance. Pionnier des recherches sur l’intelligence des primates, Köhler est aussi l’auteur d’une théorie qui pour la première fois jette un pont entre phénoménologie et physique, entre l’expérience vécue et l’ordre décrit par les sciences de la matière. Deux leitmotivs reviennent à travers toute son œuvre : l’unité de la perception, de l’action, et de l’expression, et la continuité entre organisation physique, forme, et sens. Jouant de façon exemplaire sur une pluralité de registres qui vont des mathématiques et de la physique des formes jusqu’à une anthropologie générale, l’œuvre de Köhler reste d’une étonnante modernité. Ce livre en retrace les grands moments, et en démontre les résonances contemporaines, dans le contexte des neurosciences montantes et du difficile débat entre les sciences cognitives et les sciences de la culture. Victor Rosenthal, psychologue, est chercheur à l’INSERM ; Yves-Marie Visetti, chercheur au CNRS, a publié avec P. Cadiot Pour une théorie des formes sémantiques (P.U.F, 2001). |

Wolfgang Metzger Psicologia per l'educazione. Modelli antropologici. Regole sociali. Applicazioni pedagogiche Roma : Armando, 2000 Italian translation of W. Metzger's book "Psychologie in der Erziehung" (Psychology in Education) Pagine: 192. Collana: Psicologia dell'educazione Psicologia - Psicoanalisi Prezzo: € 15,49 Questo saggio di Metzger è diviso in tre parti. Nella prima viene messo in evidenza come fenomeni basilari in campo educativo, quali l'ubbidienza e l'autorità, il premio e la punizione, assumano un significativo assai diverso a seconda del sistema teorico adottato. La seconda parte tratta dello sviluppo della conoscienza morale con particolare riferimento alla teoria freudiana a cui l'Autore contrappone una sua diversa concezione. Nella terza parte viene dato ampio spazio alla psicologia del pensiero produttivo. Metzger si rifà alle ricerche classiche di Kohler, Dunker, Wertheimer e Katona, nella convizione che, al di là delle terminologie più recenti, i risultati conseguiti da tali Autori siano quelli che maggiormente illuminano le strategie messe in atto nella soluzione intuitiva dei problemi. |

Custom is an integral part of the institutional matrix of modern economies. Market
processes are affected by custom and mould custom in turn. "On Custom in the
Economy" explores this interaction by means of a cross-disciplinary approach
which is rooted in classical Gestalt psychology. It integrates modern developments
in cognitive psychology and institutional economics. Applications relate to the
theory of property, legal reasoning, the theory of the firm, and the division of
labour in society.

Michael Wertheimer about this book:
"With unstinting attention to detail and to careful documentation, yet without ever loosing sight of the larger picture, Mitchell Ash has produced a comprehensive history of the Gestalt movement in Germany. Professor Ash's expert skills as an historian have generated a full, rich account of the emergence of the school in all its human, institutional, intellectual, social and political contexts. ... This book will long stand out as a model of what a book on the history of ideas at its best can be."By clicking on one of the following links you can have more information about this book and order it online.
In this book David J. Murray discusses the historical relationships between behaviourism,
Gestalt psychology and the cognitive revolution, and outlines the main principles
of Gestalt psychology through an account of the intellectual careers of Max Wertheimer,
Kurt Koffka and Wolfgang Köhler, the three leaders of the movement. The book
emphasizes the value of the insights of Gestalt psychology for the understanding
of cognitive psychology, and argues that we need to re-evaluate many of Gestalt
psychology's ignored insights.

The American Psychological Association (APA) has just reissued two important volumes of collected writings by Kurt LEWIN as a single volume:
Kurt Lewin
Resolving Social Conflicts (first published in 1948)
and
Field Theory in Social Science (first published in 1951)In his Publisher's Note Gary R. VandenBos says:
"Kurt Lewin (1890-1947) was undoubtedly one of the most creative and controversial figure in the history of psychology. His legacy is evident in contemporary social psychology - in studies of learning, development, and regression; achievement motivation and socialization; cognitive dissonance; and group dynamics and its applications in the laboratory, in schools, and in industry. ...
Because of the pervasiveness of Kurt Lewin's intellectual contributions to contemporary social psychology, the American Psychological Association, with the cooperation of Kurt Lewin's daughter, Miriam Lewin, PhD, is pleased to reissue both titles in one comprehensive volume. ... Bringing together these two volumes will familiarize readers with the broad range of Lewin's thinking. APA's goal is to stimulate renewed interest among contemporary scholars in Lewin's work."
