When Oswald Kü\;lpe untimely died in 1915\, at the age of 53\, he was one of the most reputed and promising philosophers and psychologists of his time. As a psychologist\, Kü\;lpe had established the Wü\;rzburg school\, devoting himself to the experimental investigation of (imageless) thought. Besides that\, Kü\;lpe contributed to general psychology\, to the study of feelings\, attention and many other topics. As a philosopher\, Kü\;lpe developed Realism in an original and interesting manner. In his unfinished masterpiece Die Realisierung\, he analyzes the intellectual path towards reality in the natural sciences\, but also in the Geisteswissenschaften and metaphysics. His contributions to logic\, ethics\, aesthetics\, together with his original interpretation of Kant&rsquo\;s thought and his discussion of contemporary German philosophy show his deep and partly still unexplored commitment to philosophy. \;Unsurprisingly\, Kü\;lpe&rsquo\;s legacy is manifold. Besides his critical relation to Wilhelm Wundt\, his ideas influenced many psychologists and philosophers\, including the young Martin Heidegger in his juvenile writing on the problem of reality.
\nContributions concerning all of these aspects of Kü\;lpe&rsquo\;s thought are welcome. We also consider contribution concerning the members of the Wü\;rzburg School. \;We aim at a definition of Kü\;lpe&rsquo\;s intellectual figure as a whole\, including his role in the history of philosophy and of psychology\, discussions of his theories and insights\, his relationship with other personalities and his influence over them.
