Abstract Egon Brunswik, in his 1952 monograph The Conceptual Framework of Psychology, developed and articulated his integrated vision for psychology as a science. A strong argument can be made that, of all of Brunswik’s later works, the 1952 monograph represented his crowning achievement simply be cause of its scope and intent (Bergmann, 1952, in his review of the monograph, observed that “intellectually, this is the equivalent of three books, or, to put it conservatively, of one well sized book and two monographs of about one hundred pages each.... a distinguished piece of work by a distinguished author”; pp. 654-655). In this monograph, Brunswik critically and comprehensively evaluated the history, philosophy, methodology, and theory of psychology. No other psychologist to that date had had the vision or the courage (or, one could argue, the poor timing) to objectively and rigorously evaluate the entire discipline as a prelude to setting forth a new conceptualization that purported to address the argued shortcomings that had amassed over decades of psychological research. Brunswik’s arguments threatened the very foundations and goals of psychology, as he intended, in order to stimulate deeper and more critical insights. He promul gated this threat at precisely the time when psychology was rapidly coalescing into two clear disciplines (see Cronbach, 1957) that had adopted fairly entrenched and opposed positions with respect to the interconnectedness between psychological theory, methodology, and focal phenomena of interest (see Gigerenzer, 1987, 1994; Leary, 1987, for further discussions). In a very real sense, Brunswik’s monograph was the concrete manifestation of one man’s attempt to stimulate a scientific revolution (see Kuhn, 1970), effectively a unification of the two disciplines, on his own purely by reasoned argument backed by a prodigious knowledge of what had come before and an unshakeable belief in where the future lay. Brunswik’s ideas were not well received, nor did they have their intended effect within his shortened lifetime. However, since the mid-1960s, there has been slow and steady erosion of resistance to his ideas as many of his arguments have been found to ring true (see Hammond, 19966).
