Description: Wolfgang Kohler, one of the founders of Gestalt psychology, explicates the epistemological position of Gestalt psychology in this article.
Wolfgang Köhler (1929, 1971): An old pseudoproblem (1) , 1929; translated by Erich Goldmeyer, 1971 Why are the objects of the phenomenal world perceived as before us, outside of ourselves, even though today everybody knows that they depend upon processes inside of us, in the central nervous system? A psychologist will as a rule, immediately be able to give a simple solution to this curious problem. But that it is generally known may not be assumed. It is not only a philosopher like SCHOPENHAUER who uncritically accepts the erroneous premises implicit in that question and must then make the wildest assumptions to answer it. Many of the greatest physiologists, among them even Helmholtz, have failed to achieve full clarity on this question.
