ABSTRACT
We must commence our study with Wertheimer’s work of 1912, to which the inception of the development of the gestalt theory’s thinking is traced. Through this work, Über das Sehen von Bewegungen, there runs in a characteristic fashion a duality of problems, side by side. The first, the theory of the seeing of movement, which, in consonance with his theme, occupies the central place in the work, is followed to a certain degree as a special matter, by the consideration of that theoretical problem which actually concerns us here, the theory of the seeing of gestalt. Correspondingly, we shall, to begin with, develop the various crucial points which are linked together in the theory of the seeing of movement, in Wertheimer’s work.
