This book presents a novel perspective on psychology's methodology-moving it from quantification as a given imperative to science-philosophical look at phenomena-data relationship. The idea for this volume emerged from inquiries into the history of psychology of the 18th-19th centuries where the developmental focus within German Naturphilosophie led philosophers to emphasize the dialectical nature of biological and psychological development. T...

This is done by capturing the whole fields of perceivable peripheral spaces and...

Er erläutert, wie Deutungs-, Sinngebungs-, Verstehens- und Ordnungsprozesse strukturiert sind und wie eine Zusammenführ...
