metadata.value: Phenomenology originates in a critical assessment of descriptive psychology. In this regard, scholars emphasize
  mainly the problem of psychologism. Yet, the question of a methodological divide between both
  approaches is rather at the margins of contemporary scholarship. In the present paper, I analyze and discuss
  the 1931–32 debate held by Irena Filozofówna and Leopold Blaustein as a case study of the phenomenology-
  psychology divide. The debate addresses the structure of aesthetic experience, as well as a methodological
  background for describing psychic life. My main task is to present arguments, concepts, and methodologies
  of the opposing positions. To do so, in Sect. (1) I outline biographical sketches of Filozofówna
  and Blaustein. They were members of the Lvov-Warsaw School, but they presented different approaches:
  whereas Filozofówna advocated descriptive and experimental psychology, Blaustein—educated not only by
  Twardowski, but also by Ingarden, and Husserl—referred to the phenomenological tradition too. Sect. (2)
  summarizes Blaustein’s phenomenological aesthetics. His approach consists in analyzing aesthetic experience
  as a combination of nonreducible presentations. His key observation is that different types of art
  require different presentations, say, imaginative, schematic, or symbolic. In Sect. (3), I analyze Filozofówna’s
  criticism of this approach. Her main argument consists in emphasizing judgments as a necessary element
  of every lived experience. She claims that Blaustein comprehends acts as intentional, i.e., as presenting their
  objects as “such and such,” but by doing so, he confuses presentations with judgments. In this section I follow
  Blaustein’s replies to Filozofówna’s criticism. In Sect. (4), I analyze Filozofówna’s argument that Blaustein
  adopted an ineffective method, since he was too hasty in accepting unjustified hypotheses. In Sect. (5), I ask
  about a theoretical background of Filozofówna’s criticism, and I juxtapose both positions.
