The narrative explores the trajectory of Wilhelm Wundt's influence in psychology, emphasizing Richard Avenarius's pivotal role in the movement that challenged Wundt's theories. It details how Wundt's ideas were progressively rejected, particularly by his own students, marking a significant shift in scientific psychology.
