Abstract
Koch, C.H.: Who was the Lange of the James-Lange Theory? Carl Lange and the physiology of emotions. Nordisk Psykologi, 1986, 38 (1), 41–54. In modern psychology the name of Carl Lange is only remembered as a suffix to William James' in the phrase »the James-Lange theory«. But Carl Lange was an established Danish neuropathologist who in 1885 advanced a theory of emotions, which around the turn of the century evoked numerous reactions in European psychology. The paper describes the Lange-theory and its relation to the classical body-mind problem and Lange's attempt to establish psychology as a science founded on physiology. Particular attention is given to the very severe criticism, which the Danish psychologist Alfred Lehmann put forward against Lange. The paper concludes with a short exposition of Lange's theory of aesthetics.
