Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Psychological Bulletin, 1914, Vol. 11: Containing the Literature Section of the Psychological Review
Lipps, that psychology is the observation of one's own mental life. He claims that psychology cannot be divorced completely from philosophy (as Kiilpe has urged) because psychological problems lead the psychologist directly to philosophical ones and because philosophy in its turn is directly dependent upon psychological doc trine. Krueger (9) writes natural science must construct a con ceptual system of objective reality, a: if it were quite independent of any individual's consciousness. Psychology, on the contrary, is obliged to complement this conscious one-sidedness. And though psychology, like natural science, is a law-seeking science, it cannot reach its goal so directly and so immediately, for it must include also a genetic theory of civilization. In short, it is confederated not only with the natural, but also, potentially at least, with the humanistic sciences. Souriau (16) finds the older delimitations of the field of psychology (5. G., the non-spatiality of the mental, the privacy of the mental, and so forth) quite inadequate and false. The mental differentiates itself from the physical by being teleological.
