Abstract
Mark Textor's book, "The Disappearance of the Soul and the Turn against Metaphysics: Austrian Philosophy 1874–1918," explores the development of empirical psychology in German philosophy. The book traces the evolution of psychology from a science of the soul to a science without soul, substances, or metaphysics. The author examines the rejection of the soul by philosophers such as Franz Brentano, Wilhelm Wundt, and Ernst Mach, and the emergence of new concepts like intentionality and neutral monism. The book also delves into the debates surrounding the subject, judgments, and the limits of knowledge. While the book is comprehensive and well-structured, it is limited to the period of 1874-1918 and does not cover Ludwig Wittgenstein and the Vienna Circle. [Extracted from the article]
