Review
Cane and Conaghan succeed in providing readers with a much better understanding of law and the legal system…the Companion blends the basics to indulge the occasional curiosity with useful suggestions for further reading paths which will not let you put this book down… Phillip Taylor The book provides unrivalled encyclopaedic coverage of the fundamental major areas of law, from specific laws to crimes, cases, personalities, legal events, the role of law in national and international politics, and law’s underlying philosophy…and all in one place! Phillip Taylor The New Companion will…function as Oxford Companions should: as an introduction for the intelligent layman who can reach for it from his own shelves. To these readers, the New Companion is warmly commended. Edinburgh Law Review Vol 13, 2009

* Binding: Paperback
Book Description:
Plato stands as the fount of our philosophical tradition, being the first Western thinker to produce a body of writing that touches upon a wide range of topics still discussed by philosophers today. In a sense he invented philosophy as a distinct subject, for although many of these topics were discussed by his intellectual predecessors and contemporaries, he was the first to bring them together by giving them a unitary treatment. This volume contains fourteen new essays discussing Plato’s views about knowledge, reality, mathematics, politics, ethics, love, poetry, and religion. There are also analyses of the intellectual and social background of his thought, the development of his philosophy throughout his career, the range of alternative approaches to his work, and the stylometry of his writing.

A Student’s Guide to Psychology, by Daniel N. Robinson
A Student’s Guide to Psychology, by Daniel N. Robinson, ISI Books, 2002.
Psychology is frequently the most popular major on campus, but it can also be the most treacherous. In this study guide, Daniel N. Robinson surveys the philosophical and historical roots of modern psychology and sketches the major schools and thinkers of the discipline. He also identifies those false prejudices—such as contempt for metaphysics and the notion that the mind can be reduced to the chemical processes of the brain—that so often perplex and mislead students of psychology. He ends by calling for psychology to investigate more intensively the problems of moral and civic development. Readers will find Robinson’s book to be an indispensable orientation to this culturally influential field.
Daniel N. Robinson is Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus at Georgetown University, a member of the philosophy faculty at Oxford University, and Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Columbia University. He is editor of The Journal of Theoretical & Philosophical Psychology and the author of many books, including An Intellectual History of Psychology and Aristotle’s Psychology.
