Paul Natorp on Experience - Dictionary of Arguments

Gadamer I 73
Experience/Consciousness/Critical Psychology/Natorp/Gadamer: [To the] fundamental meaning which Kant's critique of all substantive soul teachings and the transcendental unity of self-consciousness distinguished from the latter, which possesses the synthetic unity of apperception, (...) [t]o this critique of rationalist psychology, the idea of a psychology according to a critical method could be connected, as Paul Natorp had already done in 1888(1) and on which later Richard Hönigswald founded the concept of the psychology of thought(2).
Natorp, through the concept of consciousness, which expresses the immediacy of experience, has designated the object of critical psychology and developed the method of universal subjectivation as the research method of reconstructive psychology. Later, Natorp has supported and further developed his basic approach by a detailed criticism of the concept formation

of contemporary psychological research. But already in 1888 the basic idea was established that the concretion of the primordial experience, i.e. the totality of consciousness, represents an undivided unit, which is only differentiated and determined by the objectifying method of recognition.
