في الكيفيات الغشتالتية (Über Gestaltqualitäten)

مقدمة

Ehrenfels published “Über ‚Gestaltqualitäten‘” in 1890 in the Vierteljahrsschrift für wissenschaftliche Philosophie. Starting from observations by Ernst Mach, the essay notes that a melody remains recognisable when transposed into another key, although all its tones change, and that a spatial figure keeps its form in a different size or colour. Ehrenfels concludes that we perceive, along with the elements, a quality of the whole – a Gestalt quality – which is not the sum of the elements but is founded on them. The essay started a long debate in the Graz school and among psychologists and became the starting point of Gestalt psychology.
