Developmental Comparative Psychology and Development of Comparisons

چکیده
Heinz Werner’s (1890–1964) book Comparative Psychology of Mental Development is reviewed in the context of the dynamics of values and types of scientific rationality, sciences of complexity, cognitive psychology and cultural studies.
