In an article in this journal, Nicholas Pastore rejected Ludwig Wittgenstein's critique of Wolfgang Köhler and Gestalt psychology. Pastore appears not to have appreciated Wittgenstein's argument that Köhler mistook conceptual questions for factual ones. A simi-lar confusion seems to underlie at least some aspects of contemporary neuroscience. Be that as it may, Wittgenstein has had minimal influence on the research practices of psychologists while Köhler remains influential. This outcome would not have surprised Wittgenstein, who predicted that scientists would not see his work as relevant to theirs.
在本期刊的一篇文章中，尼古拉斯·帕斯托雷驳斥了路德维希·维特根斯坦对沃尔夫冈·苛勒及格式塔心理学的批评。帕斯托雷似乎没有领会维特根斯坦的观点，即苛勒将概念性问题错当成了事实性问题。类似的混淆似乎至少构成了当代神经科学某些方面的基础。尽管如此，维特根斯坦对心理学家的研究实践影响甚微，而苛勒仍然具有影响力。这一结果不会让维特根斯坦感到惊讶，他曾预言科学家们不会认为他的作品与他们的工作相关。
