Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Complementarism, Physical and Psychical, Vol. 3 Complementarism forms a field of investigation for both the physicist and the psychologist, but its significance for each must be sharply distinguished. All physics is based in the last analysis not upon the directly given facts, but upon the results of constructive abstraction. Sound, light, heat, etc., physically regarded, are merely waves of ether (or ponderable matter), of certain length and amplitude, acting upon the respective physical organs. Thus, the problem of complementary colours is for the physicist the relation of two sets of waves, each of which would produce a certain colour-quality, but which, in combination, give a quality totally different from either, colourless light. Whatever psychology may have been in the past, to-day it can justly claim to be a science, for it seeks to investigate the facts of the given world, the world of consciousness. Its field is the same as that of the so-called natural sciences, its methods also being the same, i.e., observation and experiment. But the essential difference consists in this, that psychology finds its subject matter in the facts as they are given, while the natural sciences build upon hypotheses deduced from these facts. But the facts from which they start are the same for both. It is, therefore, plain that only the interpretation of an experiment will determine whether it is physical or psychical in its significance. Psychology maintains that "if the results of science shall have certainty, then science must begin with the elementary facts of consciousness, and not with contradictory pseudo-conceptions." Thus physical optics, to be more than a merely kinetic discipline, must begin with a rigid analysis of the facts of light and colour.
