Kulpe, Oswald (1862–1915)

German psychologist and philosopher. In philosophy, he was attacked by the followers of Immanuel Kant for believing that metaphysics was possible. His psychology is similar to the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl.

Kulpe was a disciple of German physiologist Wilhelm Wundt, and was professor at Würzburg 1894–1909, Bonn 1909–1912, and Munich 1912–1923. His psychological research concerned perception, judgement, and thought, and his works include Grundriss der Psychologie/Outline of Psychology 1893.
