The unknown Fechner

Summary Despite Fechner's universal fame as the founder of psychophysics, his work is not very well known among contemporary psycholgists. To correct this situation, the present issue of Psychological Research contains some excerpts from previously untranslated works of Fechner. By way of introduction to the translations, some popular misconceptions about Fechner's outer psychophysics are corrected, and a brief introduction to his inner psychophysics is given.
