Abstract
It is not hard to imagine an intellectual history of modernism as a series of attempts to exorcize the spectre of psychologism; but like that other term of scholarly abuse, positivism, confusion reigns as to what it refers to. 'Broadly speaking, psychologism is a kind of psychological relativism that reduces the logical functions of the mind to the individual psyche.
