He is associated with efforts to connect philosophical analysis with psychology, a lively and important debate in his era. He is also noted for his textbook Lehrbuch der Psychologie (1912), which helped secure his place in the history of psychology and philosophy.
Elsenhans died in Dresden on January 3, 1918. A reliable portrait image was not clearly available from the sources reviewed, so no profile image is included here.
