Abstract

The tenets of conceptual psychology already elucidated in the work of Kant, Herbart, and Hermann Paul diverge from strict empiricism (such as Fechner's and Wundt's), and from a human science like Dilthey's. Phenomenology, the science of the phenomena within the mind, also had to differentiate itself from this psychology, despite similarities in their procedures.
