Jules LT, YES. I understand the words I'm reading but I have absolutely no idea of the meaning. Help us, psychologistics. I used this word the other day in a conversation and Googled it on a whim to see if it was real. My meaning at that time, however, was psycho-logigical, in the psychotic-sense. Nothing to do with psychologistics, which I know absolutely nothing about, even after reading Wikipedia. -Andre
This article could really use some examples... Jules LT 19:17, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
What were the later texts in which Husserl sought to distance himself from psychologism? I thought this project was carried out mainly in the Prolegomenon to the Logical investigations, a relatively early text in Husserl's corpus.
It certainly could do with some examples. And Popper wasn't entirely opposed to psychologism (whatever it means) according to the OED: "1945 K. R. POPPER Open Society II. xiv. 87 The structure..of the social environment, as opposed to the natural environment, is man-made; and therefore it must be explicable in terms of human nature, in accordance with the doctrine of psychologism." - Pepper 150.203.227.130 06:54, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, I'm in favor of dropping that entire last paragraph. It's undocumented and it refers to a wholly different question (verificationism and empiricism) for which afaik not a single philosopher has used the term 'psychologism'. Stdbrouw 15:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
