Fechner's epoch-making work was his Elemente der Psychophysik ( 1860 ).

Fechner's work in aesthetics is also important.

Charles Hartshorne saw him as a predecessor on his and Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy and regretted that Fechner's philosophical work had been neglected for so long.

Fechner's work systematised the Introspectionist approach ( psychology as the science of consciousness ), that had to contend with the Behaviorist approach in which even verbal responses are as physical as the stimuli.

The one influence that has always been cited as having inspired Ebbinghaus was Fechner's Elements of Psychophysics, a book which he purchased second-hand in England.

This flip book was finalized based on an idea outlined by Jean-Guy Fechner, Fechner's younger brother and former Christian group The Chariot.

Fechner's world concept was highly animistic.

Gerardus Heymans ( 17 April 1857, Ferwert – 18 February 1930, Groningen ) was a famous philosopher, psychologist, a follower of Fechner's idea of psychic monism, and from 1890 to 1927 a Professor at Groningen University.

In his early writings, he was strongly influenced by Hindu ideas of selfhood, by Boehme's mysticism, and by Fechner's panpsychism.

Fechner's general formula for getting at the number of units in any sensation is S = c log R, where S stands for the sensation, R for the stimulus numerically estimated, and c for a constant that must be separately determined by experiment in each particular order of sensibility.

This satellite crater Fechner C is surrounded by a blanket of light-hued ejecta that spills across the southwestern half of Fechner's interior floor.

Fechner's law implies that sensation is a logarithmic function of physical intensity, which is impossible due to the logarithm's singularity at zero ; therefore, S. S. Stevens proposed the more mathematically plausible power-law relation of sensation to intensity in his famous 1961 paper entitled " To Honor Fechner and Repeal His Law.

In London, in a used bookstore, he came across Gustav Fechner's book Elemente der Psychophysik ( Elements of Psychophysics ), which spurred him to conduct his famous memory experiments.

Fechner's reasoning has been criticized on the grounds that although stimuli are composite, sensations are not.

Fechner's position in reference to predecessors and contemporaries is not very sharply defined.

Some authors use the term to mean Weber's law, and others Fechner's law.

Fechner's law states that subjective sensation is proportional to the logarithm of the stimulus intensity.

Other sense modalities provide only mixed support for either Weber's law or Fechner's law.

Peirce and Jastrow largely confirmed Fechner's empirical findings, but not all.

In particular, a classic experiment of Peirce and Jastrow rejected Fechner's estimation of a threshold of perception of weights, as being far too high.

This new law became known as Fechner's Law, or the Weber-Fechner Law, and formed the basis of Fechner's new science of psychophysics.

The best antidote for the bitterness and disappointment that poisoned him was hard work.

So simple, in fact, that it might even work -- although Pamela, now, in her new frame of mind, was careful not to pretend too much assurance.

He'd started a fire and put coffee on, and now was busy at the work board of his chuck wagon.

Tom Horn was soon back at work, giving his secret employers their money's worth.

The arrangement I had with him was to work four hours a day.

I quit work at my usual hour as if this day was no different from other days.

Their work was lonely.

With Ramey it was a dusty work shoe that was half-off the Indian's foot that he would always remember.

He was aware of her as a frightfully good-looking American WAC, a second lieutenant assigned to do the paper work, ( regardless of how important she might have thought she was ) in the Command offices, but that was all.

That should do it, he thought, because Miss Langford had said she was going to be strict about school work.

The only drawback now to the plan he'd decided on was that someone else might fail to do his work, too, and the teacher would have that person stay late along with Jack.

Was it supposed, perchance, that A & M ( vocational training, that is ) was quite sufficient for the immigrant class which flooded that part of the New England world in the post-Civil War period, the immigrants having been brought in from Southern Europe, to work in the mills, to make up for the labor shortage caused by migration to the West??

His next major work, completed in 1892, was a long fantastic epic in prose, entitled Hans Alienus, which Professor Book describes as a monument on the grave of his carefree and indolent youth.

Whether in prose or poetry, all of Heidenstam's later work was concerned with Sweden.

But his own work was evolving further.

One evening, while a volley-ball game was being played in the yard among the prisoners remaining there, a simulated melee was staged -- just as the gates were opened to admit other prisoners returning from work.

While convalescing in his Virginia home he wrote a book recording his prison experiences and escape, entitled: They Shall Not Have Me Published originally in ( Helion's ) English by Dutton & Co. of New York, in 1943, the book was received by the press as a work of astonishing literary power and one of the most realistic accounts of World War 2, from the French side.

And I was to go to work on that odd matter.

It was part of Little Jack's work to look after the dogs.

As a result, he was sent to a hospital in Arizona until his health improved enough for him to come back to Washington to work in the Government service.

But again, there was danger that his lungs would suffer in the muggy Washington weather, and he had to return to the dry climate of the West to live and work.
