Editing Wilhelm Wundt (section)

===Career in Zurich and Leipzig===
In 1875, Wundt was promoted to professor of "Inductive Philosophy" in Zurich, and in 1875, Wundt was made professor of philosophy at the University of Leipzig where [[Ernst Heinrich Weber]] (1795–1878) and [[Gustav Theodor Fechner]] (1801–1887) had initiated research on sensory psychology and [[psychophysics]] – and where two centuries earlier [[Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz]] had developed his philosophy and [[theoretical psychology]], which strongly influenced Wundt's intellectual path. Wundt's admiration for Ernst Heinrich Weber was clear from his memoirs, where he proclaimed that Weber should be regarded as the father of experimental psychology: "I would rather call Weber the father of experimental psychology…It was Weber's great contribution to think of measuring psychic quantities and of showing the exact relationships between them, to be the first to understand this and carry it out."<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Robinson|first=David|date=Autumn 2017|title=David K.
