(Rotationsapparatus für Komplikations-Versuche nach Wundt)
Description: This is Wundt's improved apparatus for the
"complication" experiment. The apparatus appeared in 1902, in one
of the last issues of Philosophische Studien and one year
before Wundt's 70-year Festschrift in Volume 20. The
article was apparently the first article (p. 3) of that volume,
and thus seems to have pride of place. Since, at this time, no
one was much interested in the voluntarist or anti-mechanist
conclusions of this experiment, Wundt's continuing interest in
this topic is puzzling. (Expanded caption Copyright 1998, Edward
