Research priorities

His research area concerns the relationship between psychology and philosophy . In line with the state of research in the post-war period, he first examined this relationship with Edmund Husserl . Using the then unpublished estate , he proved that Husserl was not only - as was known - a logical antipsychologist , but also wanted to create a psychology as a strict science . Drüe from the estate was able to fully demonstrate their theoretical framework. In his habilitation thesis he examined Hegel's psychology of the person: In it experience does not play an important role either as a method or as a criterion. The subjective disappears in the thinking of the concept ; the passivity of experience is translated into the character of the activity. The creation of the person is not interpreted as the result of a genesis, but of practice and poiesis . The subject is only true through the work of the concept.

In later work, Drüe u. a. the position of philosophy and psychology in aesthetics , for example in Wilhelm Wundt , the disintegration of proofs of God in modern times and the position of conscience in Western thought. In the commentary on Hegel's " Encyclopedia of Philosophical Sciences " edited by Herbert Schnädelbach , he worked on the subjective mind .
