The plan for this volume emerged during the international Leipzig
conference commemorating the centenary of the death of Gustav
Fechner. The contributors suggested that while many features of
modern psychological theory were anticipated by Fechner, many new
theoretical approaches owe much more to him than often is realized.
As such, they decided to honor Fechner by evaluating his own
contribution to the founding of psychology and psychoanalysis, by
deepening the foundations of psychological theories of
consciousness, perception, and choice, and by using the analysis of
time to create a new appreciation of constraints that bind mental
processes together. Thus, this volume spans an extraordinary range
of psychological topics, from hermeneutics to the time-quantum
basis for mental processes, in a way that would both amaze and
delight Fechner. Moreover, the international reach of his
pioneering ideas can be seen from the current locations of the
contributors. The span from Japan to the United States to Holland
to Germany and to Israel provides a global measure of Fechner's
scientific legacy.
