On the Way Toward a Phenomenological Psychology

This chapter focuses on Linschoten’s study of the psychology of William James. Following an introductory section (Sect. 7.1), we present our reconstruction of the development in Linschoten’s thought that led to this volume, using the texts of lectures on Husserl’s work that Linschoten inherited and modified from Buytendijk (Sect. 7.2) and Linschoten’s other scholarship (Sect. 7.3). In Sect. 7.4, we reconstruct what Linschoten learned from Husserl and in Sect. 7.5, what he learned from William James. Section 7.6 discusses the resulting volume.
