- Nominator's statement
- Koehler creates the beginning of a system that connects values to cognition, by building on the foundations of Gestalt psychology; namely that good continuation and prediction of future events is a cognitive function that leads to expectations, and the confirmation or denial of these expectations has a positive or negative value.
comments
- One is inclined to doubt that this has been a particularly influential book.
