Opis

When did psychology become a distinct discipline? What links the continental and analytic traditions in philosophy? Answers to both questions are found in this account of the debate surrounding psychologism in Germany at the turn of the century. The trajectory of 20th century philosophy has been largely determined by this anti-naturalist view which holds that empirical research is in principle different from philosophical inquiry, and can never make significant contributions to the latter's central issues.
