Sažetak
Various sources of psychological knowledge are systematically presented in this paper, on thebasis of a thorough examination of Brentano’s Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint (1874),particularly its first book, where some of the sources were closely dealt with, while the otherswere only mentioned in passing. Here, the term sources refers, first of all, to epistemic sources,such as introspection, perception, reason, memory, and testimony, secondly, to all the materialsto be investigated by psychology, extending from personal experiences to social norms, worksof art, etc., and, finally, to various methods used in psychological investigations of the materials.Additionally, Brentano’s views on particular sources of psychological knowledge are presented,firstly, within the wider historical context of the problem of introspection, as stated by Kant, andComte, and with solutions proposed by J. S. Mill, and Wundt, and, secondly, within the contextof efforts made at the time by Lazarus and Steinthal, and Wundt, to found a new branch ofpsychology, the so-called Völkerpsychologie.
