This book contains the definitive statement of Franz Brentano's
views on meta physics. It is made up of essays which were dictated
by Brentano during the last ten years of his life, between 1907 and
1917. These dictations were assembled and edited by Alfred Kastil
and first published by the Felix Meiner Verlag in 1933 under the
title Kategorienlehre. Kastil added copious notes to Brentano's
text. These notes have been included, with some slight omissions,
in the present edition; the bibliographical references have been
brought up to date. Brentano's approach to philosophy is unfamiliar
to many contemporay readers. I shall discuss below certain
fundamental points which such readers are likely to find the most
difficult. I believe that once these points are properly
understood, then what Brentano has to say will be seen to be of
first importance to philosophy. THE PRIMACY OF THE INTENTIONAL To
understand Brentano's theory of being, one must realize that he
appeals to what he calls inner perception for his paradigmatic uses
of the word "is." For inner perception, according to Brentano, is
the source of our knowledge of the nature of being, just as it is
the source of our knowledge of the nature of truth and of the
nature of good and evil. And what can be said about the being of
things that are not apprehended in inner perception can be
understood only by analogy with what we are able to say about
ourselves as thinking subjects."
