Find F. M. Cornford's little book, _Before and After Socrates_. It is old, but it is a classic, especially for beginners.

Check one of the "philosophically oriented" histories of psychology:

George Sydney Brett. (1912-21). A History of Psychology. Three volumes. London: George Allen & Unwin. Edited and abridged version by R. S. Peters. London: George Allen & Unwin, 1953.

Robert Irving Watson. (1963). The Great Psychologists: Aristotle to Freud. Philadelphia: Lippincott. (The most recent edition is Watson and Rand Evans)

Daniel R. Robinson. (1976). An Intellectual History of Psychology. New York: Macmillan. (there are several later editions)

Hi Joel, the idea of finding truth within a/the concept goes with your quest, and I'm sorry I don't have a reference. It might be a useful approach for you, thinking of the Socratic method as a way of exploring the concept and the truth contained in the concept. Good luck, David
