ABSTRACT
Paolo Bozzi goes on to give a number of wonderful examples of visual and musical aspects and notes the importance in L. Wittgenstein’s writings on aspects of what have been called “expressive qualities”, “tertiary qualities” and “affordances”. But contrary to what Bozzi suggests, these are all arguably very different things. The tradition to which Bozzi’s Experimental Phenomenology belongs is an unfamiliar one. Rather, different traditions are themselves, in some cases, part of an approach to psychology which is unfamiliar since it is held by its proponents to differ from classical experimental psychology. The distinctive features of what was to be called Experimental Phenomenology were noted already in 1911 by Max Scheler: Not all experiments have or need to have an inductive sense, for example Galileo’s experiments to demonstrate the principle of inertia.
