This comprehensive collection brings together the essential principles of William Sterns' influential personalism philosophy, presenting them for the first time to an English-speaking audience. Spanning a wide range of original translations and essays, this volume encapsulates the critical framework of Sterns' personalistic psychology, offering a profound understanding of his philosophical foundations and their relevance in various domains of psychological inquiry. Through the selected works, readers gain insight into Sterns' critical stance on methodological trends that were gaining popularity during his lifetime, while also exploring the philosophical basis of his personalistic views.

To contextualize the translations, Lamiell's chapters provide an overview of the fundamental tenets of critical personalism, highlighting the paradigmatic commitments within scientific psychology's mainstream that began to hinder Sterns' efforts prior to his passing and continue to pose challenges to personalistic thinking in the discipline today. This work stands as a significant contribution to the emerging body of scholarship dedicated to reintroducing Sterns' ideas into contemporary psychology.

With its academic orientation and in-depth exploration of historical, theoretical, and philosophical issues in psychology, this book is intended for scholars with a deep interest in these fields. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and professionals seeking to expand their understanding of personalism and its enduring impact on the discipline.
