For Rosenzweig, see https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Foj0GyHKKX8<\/a><\/p>\n

Allport\u2019s dissertation readers were William McDougall and James Ford & his dissertation (“An Experimental Study of the Traits of Personality: With Special Reference to the Problem of Social Diagnosis “) submitted to Departments of Philosophy & Psychology and Social Ethics: http:\/\/www.psychspace.com\/psych\/action-printnews-itemid-440.html<\/a> https:\/\/web.lemoyne.edu\/hevern\/narpsych\/nr-theorists\/allport_gordon_w.html<\/a>. Some sources say Allport studied with Hugo M\u00fcnsterberg (Leipzig, PhD, 1885; Heidelberg, MD, 1887), but while older brother Floyd Allport (who was also an intellectual mentor & first coauthor for Gordon) may have worked with Munsterberg, Gordon prob. just took an undergrad course with him as HM died in 1916.\u00a0 [M\u00fcnsterberg\u2019s mentor was Wilhelm Wundt (Heidelberg, MD, 1856; worked for Hermann von Helmholtz)]<\/p>\n

Langfeld: http:\/\/cdm15960.contentdm.oclc.org\/cdm\/ref\/collection\/p15960coll10\/id\/23<\/a><\/p>\n

Carl Stumpf chaired the dissertations of 3 of the 4 founders of Gestalt psychology \u2013 Wolfgang Kohler, Kurt Koffka, and Kurt Lewin.<\/p>\n

Weber, Fechner, and Brentano are also huge names in the history of psychology \u2013 psychophysics, for the first two of them. \u00a0They began (like Helmholtz) studying physiology, but found there were phenomena of consciousness (like visual illusions) that anatomy and physiology alone just could not explain. (The Germans were obsessed with being able to explain everything they observed in terms of scientific principles.) Decades of work on sensory detection thresholds, etc., finally reached the point where Wundt proclaimed that this burgeoning field of \u201cscientific philosophy\u201d should have its own name \u2013 psychology. This is the work Steven Pinker referred to when he quoted William James as saying \u201cthe field of psychophysics proves that it\u2019s impossible to bore a German.\u201d (David V. Perkins)<\/p>\n

Brentano was one of Sigmund Freud\u2019s mentors.<\/p>\n
