ABSTRACT
Egon Brunswik (1903-1955), born in Hungary but educated mostly in Vienna, came of age as a psychologist in the Vienna Psychological Institute founded by Karl and Charlotte Bühler. Karl Bühler was his primary mentor, but Moritz Schlick, founder of the Vienna Circle, was also an important influence. After completing his doctoral dissertation in 1927, with Bühler and Schlick as his committee, Brunswik became laboratory assistant to Bühler, assuming responsibility for the perception lab.
