Wolfgang Metzger

Who was Wolfgang Metzger?

Wolfgang Metzger is considered one of the main representatives of Gestalt psychology in Germany.

Metzger's most widely acclaimed work is Psychologie: Die Entwicklung ihrer Grundannahmen seit der Einführung des Experiments. It portrays systematically the foundations of psychology, including the different kinds of psychological reality, the problems associated with reference systems, order, and much more. Pivotal in its discussions is the cumulative knowledge, at that time, of the entire Gestalt school.
