The aim of this paper is to find a workable and adequate related definitions of logical (anti-)psychologism in history, thereby paving the way for further discussions on their pros and cons. The first part of the essay explains why the search for such definitions is significant. The subsequent section critically analyzes previous attempts at defining the concepts and proposes new definitions based on these insights. The final part evaluates the practical feasibility of the proposed definitions, shedding some light on their potential applications and limitations.
