In my bachelor’s degree I discuss Veber's analytical descriptive general psychology, or his geometrization of the spirit, ie »I« in relation to experience, which as a special psychic reality is independent, but in co-ordination with the physical-physiological world. Veber's psychology concerns work that serves as an observational, exploratory starting point for all branches of psychology at the time. The distinction between the physical and the psychological emphasizes his greatest emphasis on what is the subject of psychology, which, as a subject of research, he prefers to the method of self-observation as scientific research. Veber constructs a system of spirit in the geometry of fundamental psychological concepts that lay the foundation for any further psychological work and observation. His special view, which combines Kant's phenomena on the one hand and the experimental method on the other, is a kind of unique attempt to deconstruct and reconstruct human elementary experiences that would serve as an understanding and search for general laws or at least similarities of all humanity and between individuals. Understanding something, such as the artist's experience, which I discuss in the last chapter, thus takes on a whole new meaning through raising awareness of the elementality of complex experiences and giving context to something that is seen in everyday life as self-evident.
