Returning to a pre-Marxist perspective to provide a political philosophy for the left that is based upon psychology rather than on "objective circumstances of human existence", "Psychology, Relativism and Politics" suggests that the principal political debates of the 21st century in the developed world will be over the forms of political institutions and that those debates will reflect relative preferences for forms of understanding issues in the political world. This book attempts to build into current standards for political equity theory of the psychological "price" different personalities have to pay within different governmental systems in order to operate at their best. Kreml argues that fundamental epistemological arguments over the nature of analytic and synthetic cognitions (as debated, for instance, by Kant and Hegel) have in fact been debates reflecting different psychological preferences for different forms of knowledge and that standards of equity have to apportion psychological "prices" too.

William P. Kreml contends that the sectoral divide - the division between the public and private sectors and not the divisions among America's political institutions are traditionally understood - makes up the historically and ideologically most significant separation within American law. He offers an original reinterpretation of American Constitutional development, tracing the evolution of the private and public sectors through the Magna Carta, Edward I, Coke, Blackstone, and others and assessing the impact of the English sectoral divide on the U.S. Constitution.

Tucked beside well-understood discriminations based on race, gender, sexual preference and the like, insidious but deeply damaging discrimination based on psychology, or temperament also haunts both the structures and processes of the American government as well as the policy outcomes of that government. Building on Prof. William Kreml's prior work on the cognitive balances between analytic and synthetic kinds of minds, particularly as they are revealed in the contrast between Kantian and Hegelian preferences for different knowledge forms, Kreml demonstrates how the American political and legal systems favor the analytic forms of thinking that serves the access to government of powerful interest groups and excludes the synthetic, aggregated forms of decision-making that advance the public good.

William Parker Kreml was born on August 5, 1941, in Evanston, Illinois, United States. He is the son of Franklin M. and Margaret Parker Kreml.
William Kreml received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Northwestern University in 1962. Then he studied at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law where he obtained a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree in 1965. In 1968 he got a Master of Arts degree from the University of Tennessee. Four years later, he received a Doctor of Philosophy degree in political science from Indiana University Bloomington.
After receiving a doctor's degree in 1965, William Kreml became an assistant professor of business law at Northern Illinois University. From 1966 till 1968 he was an assistant professor of business law at the University of Tennessee. In 1971 he joined the University of South Carolina where he spent a greater part of his life. He began as an assistant professor, the position he held till 1977. Then he became an associate professor. In 1984 he took the position of a professor of government and international studies. In 1991-1993 he was also a vice-chairperson of the political science department. In 1996 Kreml retired and became a professor emeritus.
William Kreml was a visiting professor at the University of Peking in 1994 and 1997 and an adjunct professor at Mars Hill College in 1998 as well. He is also the author of some books on American government, constitutional law, and political theory. The first work, The Anti-Authoritarian Personality, deals with the range of authoritarian to antiauthoritarian personality traits and contends that a political theory of relativity is indeed possible. A later work, Relativism and the Natural Left argues that the cognitive range of preference for analytic and synthetic cognitions has dictated a 'fission-fusion' within Western intellectual thought, the rationalistic positions of Plato and Aristotle on the one hand and the skeptical positions of Thrasymachus and Protagoras on the other, dividing according to their psychological differentiation and then reuniting with psychologically compatible positions later in intellectual history.
In Psychology, Relativism, and Politics, he completes the trilogy of relativistic works, defining the essence of psychological equity, its impact on material equity, and the role of the psychological variable in preferences for both specific public policies and for specific structural and procedural arrangements that favor one form of cognition over another. The Constitutional Divide is an application of psychological relativism to Anglo-American jurisprudence. It argues that the sectoral divide, not the institutional divide between the political branches and the courts, is the principal divide in American constitutional history and that the American sectoral separation is simply an extension of the sectoral divide that was defining itself, and English jurisprudence, since Magna Carta.
Kreml suggests that there have been two grand dialectical periods in Anglo-American legal history - the shape of the dialectic containing the alternate cognitions of analytic, synthetic, and then analytic forms - a position that contrasts with Hegel’s view. He argues that the cognitively analytic and synthetic positions are now exclusively housed within the private and the public sectors respectively and that it is permissible for the judiciary to expand the law through the use of synthetic cognition. He also contributed articles and reviews to periodicals, including Newsday, Alternatives, Chinese Social Science Quarterly, and Administration and Society.

1997William Kreml's work has centered around the creation of an original political philosophy based upon psychology. He calls this theory "psychological relativism." It is based on a subjective, rather than an objective, reading of Kant’s and Hegel’s different understandings of the analytic and the synthetic cognitions.
William Kreml is a co-founder and member of a committee on the Constitutional System, International Society of Political Psychology, American Political Science Association, Southern Political Science Association, International Society of Political Psychology, and Phi Delta Phi.
William Kreml married Nancy Mace on October 12, 1991. The marriage produced two children, Elizabeth and Suzanne.
