The Complete Social Scientist

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

Edited By Martin Gold

FROM THE PREFACE: Scholars engaged in a broad range of disciplines should find this anthology useful. I selected the articles to display the many facets of Lewin's intellectual interests: philosophy of science; social, developmental, personality, motivational, cognitive, and clinical psychology; social organization; social problems; and scientific methodology. Scholars may also find in the compleat social scientist, thus revealed, a model to which they may aspire, if only in part, in considering the directions of their own careers. Readers in disparate fields will find it illuminating to read Lewin's articles in fields related to but not their own. I have endeavored to help make the connections among the various articles more apparent with some commentary and with a brief intellectual biography of Lewin that speculates on the common sources of his many creative ideas.
