In addition to the great names of modern psychologists in England, we may mention among other experimental psychologists in Germany, Fechner, Wundt, Lotze, Helmholtz, Weber, Kammler, etc.; illustrious men in France and elsewhere might also be cited to show what progress has been made and is about to be made in this field.
The effort to discover a meaning in the pictures led to the fusion of this image with one of the subjective spectra, and in this way the idea of a Hamlet frontispiece probably arose. The whole process of dream-construction is clearly illustrated in a curious dream recorded by Professor Wundt.
Wundt, indeed, seems to think that the feeling accompanying the actual flow of time has no effect on the surviving subjective appreciation; but this must surely be an error, since our mental image of any period is determined by the character of its contents. Wundt says that when once a tedious waiting is over, it looks short because we instantly forget the feeling of tedium.
For an analysis of the nature of Self-consciousness see vol. iii, p. 375 sq. of the three ponderous tomes by Wilhelm Wundt Grund-zuge der Physiologischen Psychologie in which amid an enormous mass of verbiage occasional gleams of useful suggestion are to be found. As a kind of rude general philosophy we may say that there are only two main factors in life, namely, Love and Ignorance.
The materialistic generation, that in the fifties and sixties called his speculations fantastic, had been replaced by one with greater liberty of imagination, and a Preyer, a Wundt, a Paulsen, and a Lasswitz could now speak of Fechner as their master.
One of the books which have disappointed me the most is Max Stirner's Ego and His Own. Psychology is a science which I should like to know. I have therefore skimmed through the standard works of Wundt and Ziehen. After reading them, I came to the conclusion that the psychology which I am seeking, day by day and every day, is not to be found in these treatises.
In the great publication, Zeitschrift fur psychologie, etc., there began in 1894 a special department for the psychology of children and the psychology of education. In 1898, there were as many as one hundred and six essays devoted to this subject, and they are constantly increasing. In the chief civilised countries this investigation has many distinguished pioneers, such as Prof. Wundt, Prof.
Titchener quotes an opinion of Wundt on these investigations, which appears to me thoroughly justified.
Its connection with the phenomena of autosuggestion is very clear. Dr. Wundt, the famous German psychologist, showed a class of students how superstitions unconsciously acquired in early life affect sensible adults who have long since passed the stage at which they might put any credence in omens. At a concert given by a famous player, the audience has been well schooled in anticipation.
"That's what most puzzled me." "No wonder. I too was puzzled until I found the solution. And it took me some years yes, all the time you were in Paris learning how to paint and live." He paused, and his face became gloomy. "Well well?" "There is no well. It's a damned bad fan, that iron one, and I don't mind saying so to you." "Superstitious you! Where is your Haeckel, your Wundt, your Weismann?
