ABSTRACT
One thing is certain. The single, great, far-reaching idea of Kohler's is that it might be possible to assure the position of the new fundamental category of gestalt for psychology by resorting to physics, which has a theoretical apparatus so much better established, by reason of its course of development, than that of psychology. But this idea must be abandoned in its entirety. The gestalt principle does not allow of being conclusively implemented on scientific-theoretical con siderations either for physics or for physiology.
