Abstract
The article addresses two recently published books in General Psychology by Niels Engelsted and Jens Mammen. The two approaches offer in their own way solutions to the so-called 'crisis of psychology'. Mammen's new logical foundation for psychology is based on two different properties of the objects we relate to: those characterizing the objects appearances, and those characterizing the objects as unique substances or singulars distributed in time and space - the existence of the objects as opposed to the appearance of the objects. Engelsted makes a journey from Aristotle (384-322 BC) until today's psychology in his quest to identify the domain of psychology. He places the psyche in the natural world as a result of locomotion in the first, most simple animal life. The domain of psychology includes intentionality, mind and consciousness.
