Abstract

In his book Martin Kusch tells an old story, namely the episode of psychologism and its refutation. Every philosopher knows it and novices have to learn: in the last century "psychologism" was a result of philosophical confusions. And the typical explanation emphasizes the crisis of philosophy after the "decline of the idealism" beginning with Hegel's death.
