“…If one follows Twardowski’s (1999, pp. 41–64; 2014, pp. 61–72) main texts in psychology—for example, the early essay on Psychology versus Physiology and Philosophy or his later text On the Method of Psychology —one can find similar ideas in Blaustein’s works.…”

This article critically analyzes the concept of descriptive psychology, which was used by Blaustein as part of his struggles with the Brentanian heritage which shaped the Lvov-Warsaw School. It is argued that because of his studies under the Gestaltists and Husserl, Blaustein was able to redefine the basics of Brentano's and Twardowski's projects of empirical and descriptive psychology. To show the divergent motives present in Blaustein's psychology, the article presents a biography of Blaustein in the context of psychology in the Poland and Europe of his times. Next, it analyzes references to Brentano and to Twardowski. It is argued that because of Twardowski and his reappraisal of Külpe's experimental psychology, Blaustein accepted experiments as a necessary element of scientifically justified psychology. This thesis is also discussed in regard to the Gestaltists' influences on Blaustein. Next, the article explores Blaustein's idea of reforming psychology in the spirit of the humanistic psychology of Dilthey and Spranger. Blaustein's idea that phenomenology should be understood as descriptive psychology is discussed. Finally, his use of psychology to study media is discussed. Against this background, Blaustein's descriptive psychology is presented as an eclectic methodological device which was used by him to explore mental phenomena.

In this paper, I analyze the shift in Twardowski’s views between his early psychologistic theory of logic and his later anti-psychologistic theory. In particular, I point out that the interpretation suggesting that this change merely involves Twardowski enriching his ontology with products encounters a certain problem in light of his earlier views. To present this problem more precisely, I discuss the foundations of Twardowski’s theory of products, focusing on aspects relevant to the issue of psychologism. Based on this, I reconstruct Twardowski’s theory of logic and highlight where he identified the fallacy of psychologism. I contrast this reconstructed theory with Twardowski’s earlier views at key points and demonstrate that the difference between his early psychologistic theory and his later anti-psychologistic theory is a matter of a shift in emphasis rather than a significant change in the theoretical system itself, and that Twardowski himself understood it as such.
