Genetic and descriptive psychology

Theodorus de Boer

pp. 52-61

The themes discussed in the previous chapter all pertain to descriptive psychology. In this chapter I will show that Husserl attached himself to a certain tradition inaugurated by Brentano. The problematics embedded in the duality of genetic and descriptive psychology can perhaps be regarded as the driving force in the thinking of Husserl; after 1907 it finally led him to distinguish between descriptive psychology and transcendental phenomenology.
