Abstract
The article addresses the works of three 19th-century philosophers: Herbart, Bolzano and Lotze. Despite their differences, i will analyze two essential features they share: their refusal to psychologism as the radicalization of psychology as the ultimate source of philosophy (antipsychologism), and the positing of an ideal ‘reality’, independent from both sensibility and the mental and linguistic dimensions, upon which the refusal to psychologism is founded (Platonism). As a conclusion, i will show how, according to these authors, this platonic, ideal background constitutes the very foundation of every meaningful thought.Downloads
