Abstract: A. R. Luria is recognized as one of the greatest neurologists and neuropsychologists of the 20th century. His prolific works span a variety of subjects and offer new discoveries in the brain-behavior relationship. Nevertheless, it is the thesis of this article that Luria's humanistic legacy, his romantic science, crowns his many achievements and provides us with insight into the possibilities of resolving the tension between the nomothetic and ideographic approaches within psychology.
