This book reconstructs the rise and fall of Wilhelm Wundt's
fortunes, focusing for the first time on the role of Richard
Avenarius as catalyst for the so-called "positivist repudiation of
Wundt." Krauss specifically looks at the progressive disavowal of
Wundtian ideas in the world of scientific psychology, and
especially by his former pupils. This book provides important
historical context and a critical discussion of the current state
of research, in addition to a detailed consideration of Wundt's and
Avenarius' systems of thought, as well as on their personal
relationship. The author outlines the reception of Avenarius'
conceptions among Wundt's pupils, such as Kulpe, Munsterberg and
Titchener, and among other psychologists of the time, such as Ward,
James and Ebbinghaus. Finally, this book presents Wundt's two-fold
attempt to respond to the new trend through a criticism of the
"materialistic" psychology, and a reformulation of his own ideas.
