On the Way Toward Idols of the Psychologist: Linschoten’s Lectures and Articles 1957–1964

After a brief introduction (Sect. 8.1), we discuss the documents and articles Linschoten wrote before he published his last book. We look at the extensive typescripts of the lectures he provided after becoming the successor to Buytendijk (Sect. 8.2) and what he published as a prelude to his Idolen: an article on actual genesis (Aktualgenese) (Sect. 8.3), one on evolution and psychology (Sect. 8.4), and perhaps most important two articles on phenomenology and psychology (Sect. 8.5).
