“I think, therefore I am”, this phrase is attributed to French philosopher René Descartes. It was foundational to Cartesian Philosophy. This philosophy along with others across a wide range of time periods and regions is covered in the 100s. The 100s contains books discussing philosophy and psychology. So, if you are interested in Sigmund Freud or Carl Jung, you can find not only their works, but also contemporary evolutions in the field of psychology. Some lesser-known sections include parapsychology and occultism, which highlight the areas outside of traditional psychology and philosophy. These books dive deep into what makes the human mind tick and ask the big questions about life.
