If we had a psychology, a proper psychology, then we would be able to look at certain things differently than we usually do today. And here I would like to point out one thing in particular. When we indulge in natural science, when we express natural scientific facts in laws and then incorporate these laws into our intellect, so that we carry within ourselves what has been revealed to us through external observation and experimentation, we notice that the The more we distance ourselves from external facts, the more we work inwardly with the intellect, which proves itself so excellently when guided by experiment and observation, the more we continue to work with this intellect, the more we - in other words - enter the realm of hypothesis, the realm in which we seek to formulate, with the aid of the intellect, the principles underlying these phenomena, we feel more and more distinctly that we are entering a realm in which we cannot, in the long run, satisfy ourselves. The more one, I might say, freely indulges at first in the kind of thinking that can be quite well applied in scientific research, the more one indulges in this thinking, in this forming of thought hypotheses, the more one comes to something unsatisfactory. And this unsatisfactory state is basically evident in the whole course of scientific development.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Hätten wir eine Psychologie, eine eigentliche Psychologie, so würde man gewisse Dinge schon anders anschauen können, als sie heute gewöhnlich angeschaut werden. Und da möchte ich vor allen Dingen auf eines hinweisen. Wenn wir uns naturwissenschaftlich ergehen, die naturwissenschaftlichen Tatsachen in Gesetze bringen, diese Gesetze dann unserem Intellekt einverleiben, so daß wir gewissermaßen das in unserer Person mit forttragen, was sich uns, indem wir äußerlich beobachten und experimentieren, ergeben hat, so bemerken wir: Je mehr wir uns von den äußeren Tatsachen entfernen, je mehr wir gewissermaßen bloß innerlich arbeiten mit dem Verstande, der sich so vorzüglich erweist, wenn Experiment und Beobachtung ihm Führer sind, je mehr wir mit diesem Verstande weiterarbeiten, je mehr wir - mit anderen Worten - ins hypothetische Gebiet hineinkommen, in dasjenige Gebiet, wo man durch den Verstand etwas ausgestalten will, was hinter diesen Erscheinungen steht, desto deutlicher fühlt man: Man kommt in ein Gebiet hinein, dem gegenüber man sich auf die Dauer nicht befriedigt erklären kann. Je mehr man, ich möchte sagen frei sich ergehend zunächst in demjenigen Denken, das man ganz gut im naturwissenschaftlichen Forschen anwenden kann, je mehr man sich ergeht in diesem Denken, in diesem Bilden von Gedankenhypothesen, desto mehr kommt man zu etwas Unbefriedigendem.
