This volume of collected papers, with the accompanying essays by
the editors, is the definitive source book for the work of this
important experimental psychologist. Originally published in 1991,
it offered previously inaccessible essays by Albert Michotte on
phenomenal causality, phenomenal permanence, phenomenal reality,
and perception and cognition. Within these four sections are the
most significant and representative of the Belgian psychologist's
research in the area of experimental phenomenology. Extremely
insightful introductions by the editors are included that place the
essays in context. Michotte's ideas have played an important role
in much research on the development of perception, and his work on
social perception continues to be influential in social psychology.
The book also includes some lesser-known aspects of his work that
are equally important; for example, a remarkable set of articles on
pictorial analysis.
The value of psychology as a science has been challenged in
phenomenology and in other epistemological trends. The main
objective of this book is to draw the attention of students of
human and animal behaviour to important achievements in
phenomenological psychology and comparative physiology which are
mostly overlooked, although they offer a genuine approach to
subjective experience in relation to behavioural regulations. The
work of Brentano, Stumpf, Husserl, Politzer, Katz, Michotte,
Buytendijk and many others is analysed from this epistemological
standpoint. The significance of the phenomenological approach for
the biology of behaviour is discussed. The meaning of Sherrington's
physiology of the behavioural field is evaluated in the same
framework. Basic reading for students of experimental psychology,
comparative psychology and ethology, this book will appeal
particularly to those interested in the philosophy of psychology
and biology. Originally published in 1977.
