Philosophy in relation to psychology Adam Mahrburg’s debate with Kazimierz Twardowski
Abstract
In 1898, „Przegląd Filozoficzny” („Philosophical Review”) published Adam
Mahrburg’s polemic with Kazimierz Twardowski’s text Psychology in relation to physiology and philosophy (1897), as well as response of Twardowski and Mahrburg’s
further polemic. In the background of this dispute were discrepant views on psychology, metaphilosophy and philosophy. Mahrburg, representative of critical positivism, supporter of Kantian agnosticism and Wundtian physiological psychology, didn’t understand Brentano’s program of empirical psychology, supported by Twardowski. Besides, Mahrburg had different views on philosophy’s function: for him philosophy was theory of science. Therefore he rejected both Twardowski’s idea of philosophy as a group of sciences and his specific concept of relations between psychology and philosophy.
