Abstract

This special issue focuses on two important forms of psychology that emerged in late nineteenth-century German-speaking academia: Völkerpsychologie and descriptive psychology.1 The main representatives of these currents were Moritz Lazarus, Chaim H. Steinthal, and Wilhelm Dilthey. They had many followers, including Hermann Cohen, Gustav Glogau, Georg Simmel, Wilhelm Wundt, Karl Mannheim, Paul Natorp, Rudolf Carnap, Eduard Spranger, and Erich Rothacker.
