This special issue focuses on two important forms of psychology that emerged in late nineteenth-century German-speaking academia: Völkerpsychologie and descriptive psychology.1 The main representatives of these currents were Moritz Lazarus, Chaim H. Steinthal, and Wilhelm Dilthey. They had many followers, including Hermann Cohen, Gustav Glogau, Georg Simmel, Wilhelm Wundt, Karl Mannheim, Paul Natorp, Rudolf Carnap, Eduard Spranger, and Erich Rothacker.

Current debates about the replication crisis in psychology take it for granted that direct replication is valuable, largely focusing on its role in uncovering questionable statistical practices. This article takes a broader look at the notion of replication in psychological experiments. It is argued that all experimentation/replication involves individuation judgments and that research in experimental psychology frequently turns on probing the adequacy of such judgments. In this vein, I highlight the ubiquity of conceptual and material questions in research, arguing that replication has its place but is not as central to psychological research as it is sometimes taken to be.
