| Summary: | "The present work originated in lectures on physiological psychology that the author has delivered for several years. The doctrines herein presented deviate essentially from Wundt's theory, now dominant in Germany, and conform closely to the English psychology of association. Only Münsterberg in Germany has recently raised objections from the standpoint of physiological psychology to the doctrine of apperception, characteristic of the school of Wundt. By introducing an especial auxiliary function, the so-called apperception, for the explanation of certain psychical processes, Wundt evades, it is true, numerous difficulties in demonstration. Wherever a psychical process that is difficult to explain appears, it is ascribed to this apperception. At the same time, however, all psycho-physiological explanation is abandoned. This book is intended to show that such an "auxiliary function" is superfluous, and that all psychological phenomena can be explained without it"--Preface.
