The German polymath Carl Stumpf (1848-1936) influenced one of the
most significant philosophical developments of the early twentieth
century: his student, Edmund Husserl, founded modern phenomenology.
In a distinguished academic career spanning more than five decades,
Stumpf also contributed to the growth of Gestalt psychology and
ethnomusicology. An accomplished amateur musician, he used
experimental methods to further the scientific study of music
theory. His best-known work, first published in two volumes between
1883 and 1890, rigorously investigates the psychology of tone and
music, ranging in coverage from physiology to acoustics. Its aim is
to elucidate the effect that sounds have on various psychological
functions. Volume 1 is divided into two sections. In the first,
Stumpf describes the types of decision made by the human mind. In
the second, he attempts to explain the connection between specific
sounds and the decision-making process.
