links between psychology and philosophy. Featured topics include: Theoretical and philosophical
foundations of Wundt's early work in scientific psychology. Wundt's conception of scientific
philosophy in relation to his theory of knowledge. The epistemological dimensions of Wundt's
final project in scientific psychology. Wundt and the Philosophical Foundations of Psychology
