| Description | Work of Josef Viewegh and its contribution to the Czech and Slovak psychology is analysed. J. Viewegh, as one of a few Czech psychologists, was inspired by German .... psychology. He focused on the art as a source of our knowledge about its author. He believed that psychology must be considered as an interdisciplinary branch of knowledge.

He argued that authentic subjective experience is most valid means how to understand of the individual.
