Abstract

The author believes psychology is concerned with "the person's concrete historical engagement in his world". He carefully argues that abstract laws derived from isolated and fragmentary test situations are of little assistance in understanding the person in society. Rather, psychology must abandon the epistemology currently fashionable in the sciences and develop its own analogical laws, taking the person as its domain.--R. P.
