Three Kinds of Art 81ExcerptAfter Newton's attempt to relate the external-mate- rial and the internal-spiritual, physics and chemistry became mechanistic. German Idealism with Immanuel Kant, British mysticism with William Blake, German Romanticism including Schopenhauer's renovation of oriental passivity, all reacted with revulsion from the scientific and tended to deny the importance, relevance, or even the existence of external movements. Thus, the brilliant significance of Fechner's attempts to apply the rigor of mechanistic and mathematical science to the richness of the subjective-inner-neuro- logical. Since the book, you are now reading and my life is a faithful, dutiful, follow-up to the work and life of Fechner, it may be useful to summarize this philosophic giant's extraordinary career. Current psychological priesthoods ignore the fact that the profession of psychology was originated by Gustav Theodor Fechner, a physicist who recognized that the key to understanding human nature was the relationship between external stimuli and the brain.
