The Gestalt Theory and the Problem of Configuration – Bruno Petermann

Description

“Gestalt psychology or gestaltism (from German meaning ‘shape’ or ‘form’) is a philosophy of mind of the Berlin School of experimental psychology. Gestalt psychology is an attempt to understand the laws behind the ability to acquire and maintain meaningful perceptions in an apparently chaotic world. The central principle of gestalt psychology is that the mind forms a global whole with self-organizing tendencies. This principle maintains that when the human mind (perceptual system) forms a precept or “gestalt”, the whole has a reality of its own, independent of the parts.”
