ABSTRACT:
Gestalt Psychology is one of the fundamental theories of 20th century psychology - discussed ambiguously up to now. For an authentic estimation we must refer to the expressions of the founders of Gestalt Theory like Max Wertheimer. My contribution bases on the famous, but rarely quoted text by which Wertheimer introduces Gestalt Theory to a non-psychologist audience. Beyond any special dis-cussion he outlines a completely new point of view on general psychology. „Gestalten“ are dynamic agents, they are real „subjects“ of behavior. Whereas the tradi-tional entities of a subject-psychology - the „ego“, the „self“ or the „individual“ - turn out to be irritable schemes setting up an artificial „operator“ in the centre of human experience. Thus Wertheimer’s introduction - fresh and up-to-date even nowadays - remotes some of the convenient traditions in psychology and set forth a „gestalt“-logic which can be successfully applied to the figurations of modern everyday life.
