In this talk I will introduce the discussion, point to its relevance for both philosophy and applied social sciences, and explore some traditional responses. These responses typically suggest that the problem of pseudo-empiricism echoes poor methodology. Instead, I (try to) argue that the persistence of the discussion suggests that the problem concerns the nature of (psychological) concepts.
