About this ebook

Franz Brentano is one of the founding fathers of twentieth century philosophy, celebrated for introducing the concept of intentionality to philosophy as well as making significant contributions to ethics and logic. His work exerted great influence on major philosophers such as Edmund Husserl, but also philosophers travelling in the opposite direction, such Gottlob Frege. He counted Sigmund Freud amongst his students and Freud expressed great admiration for his teacher in several letters.

Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint is Brentano’s most important and brilliant work. It helped to establish psychology as a scientific discipline, but did so in a highly original and distinctive manner by arguing for a form of introspectionism. Brentano argued that consciousness is always unified and that the hallmark of the mind is that one’s thoughts are always directed towards something – his famous theory of ‘intentionality’ – arguments that have deep implications not just for philosophy but psychology, cognitive science and consciousness studies.

With a new foreword by Tim Crane.

I am not at all impressed that your transactions with your clients are not properly clarified. I have just purchased a book with the impression I would be receiving the physical book by post delivery. I was not embarking on an online reading. I am a research student, and cannot afford to read my books on line. I will go blind. Even your apps are of no help. I have not read the book and I cannot read it on line. So I am not in a position to send you any ratings. I am asking for a refund. Best wishes. Francis
