1. Contributions to the Psychology of the CinemagoerLeopold Blaustein, 2025, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The text aims to describe the experiences of the cinemagoer by analyzing complexes of lived experiences as being composed of presentations, feelings, and judgments. These experiences are discussed with regard to the status of sensations and the object constituted by the goer. The study examines the types and features of experiences expressed by film characters by scrutinizing the theory of sympathy (Einfühlung). Moreover, the status and meaning of music in the cinemagoer’s lived experiences is explored; in this respect, the author argues that music is an important factor in shaping the goer’s mood. The text determines non-aesthetic and “semi-aesthetic” factors, which are combined in the cinemagoer’s lived experiences, and inquires into the status of the world of cinematic art.

2. Blaustein’s Phenomenological Psychology : Between Husserl and StumpfFilip Borek, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The article explores the idea of psychology and phenomenology in Blaustein’s writings as well as its relation to two conceptions of phenomenology: Husserl’s and Stumpf ’s, respectively. The article is divided into five sections. In section 1, a historical background of the reception of Husserl’s and Stumpf ’s ideas in Blaustein is discussed. Section 2 concerns the conception of phenomenology in Husserl and in Stumpf regarding its subject matter. Section 3 discusses the ambivalent status of phenomenology in Blaustein’s theoretical project. Section 4 confronts Blaustein’s understanding of phenomenology with that of Husserl and of Stumpf. Section 5 summarizes the discussion of the similarities and differences between Blaustein, on the one hand, and Husserl and Stumpf, on the other hand. I argue that with regard to the question of the subject matter of phenomenology, Blaustein is closer to Husserl’s phenomenology rather than Stumpf ’s.

3. Reviews of Ajdukiewicz’s and Kotarbiński’s PublicationsLeopold Blaustein, 2025, recenzija, prikaz knjige, kritika Povzetek: Blaustein reviews two publications by representatives of the Lvov–Warsaw School: Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz’s On the Meaning of Expressions (1931) and Tadeusz Kotarbiński’s Gnosiology: The Scientific Approach to the Theory of Knowledge (1929). The examination of Ajdukiewicz’s publication focuses on semantic theory developed through motivational relations between sentences, language directives, and inferential substitutivity relations. Blaustein’s analysis addresses the distinction between verbal and intuitive derivation, disposition toward a language, and definition of synonymy through inferential substitutivity. With respect to Kotarbiński’s publication, Blaustein analyzes the integration of the reist ontology with epistemological realism across semantic theory, epistemology, formal logic, and scientific methodology. The reviews examine both the theoretical contributions and the methodological approaches of both philosophers. They also identify specific limitations in metaphysical assumptions and applicability beyond formal logical systems.

4. The Imaginative Work of Art and Its Way of ManifestationLeopold Blaustein, 2025, strokovni članek Povzetek: The text distinguishes three modes of aesthetic presentation: perceptual, imaginative, and signitive, with a particular focus on analyzing the imaginative mode of manifestation of a work of art in contrast to the other two. In the case of imaginative perception, there are three objects to be distinguished: depicting, imaginative, and depicted objects. Unlike the object of simple sensory perception, which exists within the spatiotemporal reality of the observer, the imaginative object does not appear in this reality. Instead, it exists as something quasi-real rather than genuinely real. The text argues that imaginative perception differs not only from simple sensory perception, but also from signitive perception—such as the perception of literary work of art, which renders its proper object in a non-intuitive way.

6. On Apprehending Aesthetic ObjectsLeopold Blaustein, 2025, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The study concerns the main elements of the aesthetic experience of both ordinary objects (e.g., a sunset) as well as artworks (e.g., a painting, a sculpture). These experiences are described as intentional, thus as directed toward their objects. It is argued that aesthetic experiences depend on the kind of objects apprehended; one experiences static and dynamic objects differently. Generally, aesthetic experiences are essentially temporal and function to constitute their objects. The study differentiates reproducing (e.g., oil on canvas), imaginative (e.g., objects seen in a painting), and reproduced (e.g., a city depicted in a photograph) kinds of objects. The structure of, and relations between, these objects are to be examined, including the imaginative character of space and time, which are inherent to works of art.

7. On the Perception of the Radio PlayLeopold Blaustein, 2025, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Blaustein explores the phenomenon of listening to the radio play. The idea put forth by the author is that the radio play engages perception, treating the latter in a broad sense. Perception is not necessarily restricted to seeing; rather, it is understood as being cross-modal, as involving different senses. The main sense involved in the case of radio plays is hearing, which enables one to listen to the radio. Radio listeners are drawn into radio plays as media of hearing. Instead of vision, listeners engage their “acousion,” a term coined by Blaustein to capture the perceptual distinctness of hearing; acousion is the auditive perception of radio plays. Listening to a radio play is a lived experience or a psychic phenomenon, precisely due to the activeness of acousion. Listeners do not only passively perceive or hear auditive data. They also engage their imaginative faculties, presenting to themselves, mentally, the world of the action; by so doing, listeners enable the act of listening. According to Blaustein, presentations, even imaginative ones, are basic. By listening to a radio play, the listener imaginatively presents the world of the action to themselves, as if they were watching a theater play. However, going beyond the realm of presentations, other factors are examined, e.g., the listener’s focus is turned into the world represented—the world within—, which is given to them via auditive data and dialogue.

8. On the Tasks of Humanistic PsychologyLeopold Blaustein, 2025, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The essay examines the theoretical basics and methodological framework of humanistic psychology, a psychological approach that investigates experiential wholes of higher order within humanistic reality. In contrast to non-humanistic psychology, which focuses on elementary lived experiences in isolation, humanistic psychology emphasizes the study of complex psychological phenomena as they emerge in relation to cultural artefacts, social relationships, and creative processes. The paper argues that humanistic psychology serves as an auxiliary science for the humanities, while maintaining methodological pluralism in its investigative approaches.

9. Review of Ingarden’s The Literary Work of ArtLeopold Blaustein, 2025, recenzija, prikaz knjige, kritika Povzetek: The translation presents Blaustein’s examination of Ingarden’s ontological theory of literary works as developed in Das literarische Kunstwerk (1931). Literary works are analyzed as four-strata structures comprising linguistic sound formations, meaning units, represented objects, and schematized aspects. They are characterized as purely intentional creations with non-independent beings, founded on ideal concepts and subjective operations. The review examines how readers achieve an understanding of literary works and gain access to their ontological foundations. Blaustein discusses epistemological concerns about the accessibility of ideal concepts to readers and addresses the multiplication of metaphysical entities. An alternative approach based on linguistic directives and sentence systems is presented, in order to preserve intersubjective identity without metaphysical commitments. The study discusses Ingarden’s approach to literary theory, particularly with respect to the multi-stratal structure of literary works, and examines the underlying ontological assumptions.

10. The Lived Experience of God in Hebbel’s Dramas (§ 1)Leopold Blaustein, 2025, strokovni članek Povzetek: The text seeks to define the term “lived experience of God” and delineate the scope of investigating this concept in the context of Friedrich Hebbel’s dramas. The meaning of the lived experience of God is established through the lens of intentionality. In a narrow sense, lived experiences of God are those experiences, in which God is the direct and proper intentional object. In a broader sense, lived experiences of God include experiences whose intentional object is not God, but is nonetheless related to God. The experience of God is studied both in its noetic as well as its noematic character.
