Changes in architectural space which occurred at the beginning of the century are investigated to determine whether or not they represent a single, unified event. As examples of these changes, the work of three architects who were largely responsible for changes in the perception of space (Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Theo van Doesburg) are studied. The influences on the formation of their views are evaluated relative to the larger changes in space perception which occurred in other fields. The results are then studied to determine to what extent they can or cannot support an application of Kuhn's Theory of Paradigm Shifts to the field of architecture. A comparison of these influences indicates that the changes do not represent a single, unified event but rather arose from different influences and for different reasons. The results, therefore, do not support an application of Kuhn's theory for changes in architectural space.

As the last of the Young Hegelians, Max Stirner can be seen as continuing their general assault upon the prevailing social institutions and intellectual traditions of the German Vormarz. Yet the philosophy represented by Stirner distinguishes itself by carrying through Hegel's philosophical system to a conclusion which is antithetical to Hegelianism itself. Stirner extolls the inherently unique and particular human being, which finds itself eclipsed in the thought of Hegel. In opposition to the concept of Geist (Hegel's expression for what he believed to be an existing universal consciousness), Stirner presents a description of the Unmensch, the concrete and transitory individual which is inseparable from its own unique consciousness.
