Positivism in Psychology: Historical and Contemporary Problems
Positivism wishes extra scrutiny. in recent times, there was little consensus concerning the nature of positivism or concerning the particular varieties its impact has taken on mental conception.

In spite of this, or perhaps because of this, new theories, theory fragments or approaches appear year after year, and sometimes month after month. A large part of them is due to philosophic dissatisfaction with the dialectic features of modern physics and hence retrogressive rather than progressive; they usually have a short life and are soon forgotten.

He brings his investigation to a logical limit, and then it becomes clear that scientific activity, understood as dealing solely with received results, is not compatible with creative thinking.
