Külpe and Zimmermann on the Starting and Closing Subjects of Psychology
Dario Škarica
; Institut za filozofiju, Zagreb, Hrvatska
Sažetak
The author sets forth the arguments for the thesis that Zimmermann was influenced by Külpe in drawing the distinction between the starting and closing subjects of psychology. Also, similarities as well as significant differences between Külpe’s and Zimmermann’s whole doctrines of the starting and closing subjects of psychology are explored and the thesis is thoroughly elaborated that those differences arise from the fundamental difference between Külpe and Zimmermann regarding the very concept of psychology, the former being a distinguished proponent of the modern concept of psychology as an independent and experimental science, the latter attempting to merge that concept with the traditional Scholastic doctrine of the soul.
