His work exerted great influence on major philosophers such as Edmund Husserl, but also philosophers travelling in the opposite direction, such as Gottlob Frege. He counted Sigmund Freud amongst his students, and Freud expressed great admiration for his teacher in several letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePsychology from an Empirical Standpoint\u003c\/em\u003e is Brentano’s most important and brilliant work. It helped to establish psychology as a scientific discipline but did so in a highly original and distinctive manner by arguing for a form of introspectionism. Brentano argued that consciousness is always unified and that the hallmark of the mind is that one’s thoughts are always directed towards something – his famous theory of ‘intentionality’ – arguments that have deep implications not just for philosophy but also for psychology, cognitive science, and consciousness studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a new foreword by Tim Crane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607470129388,"sku":"9781138168251","price":247.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/d2e58b9624e71408783517a200fcd9d1.jpg?v=1778189427"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/franz-brentano.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
