Empathy as a Component of a Larger Paradox within Traditional Psychology

"Is it not paradoxical that no traditional psychology up to the present day has been able to give even a true exposition of perception, or even the special type, the perception of bodies, or of memory, of expectation, of 'empathy,' or of any other manner of presentification; or an intentional, essential description of judgment, or of any other class-type of acts, or an intentional clarification of the synthesis of agreement and discrepancy (in their different modalities)?"
