All except three of the papers in this volume were presented at the
colloquium on "L'Ontologie formelle aujourd'hui," Geneva, 3-5 June
1988. The three exceptions, the papers by David Armstrong, Uwe
Meixner and Wolfgang Lenzen, were presented at the colloquium on
"Properties," Zinal, June 1-3, 1990. It was, incidentally, at the
second of these two colloquia that the European Society for
Analytic Philosophy came into being. The fathers of analytic
philosophy - Moore and Russell - were in no doubt that ontology or
metaphysics as well as the topics oflanguage, truth and logic
constituted the core subject-matter of their "analytic realism," 1
for the task of metaphysics as they conceived things was the
description of 2 the world. And logic and ontology are indissolubly
linked in the system of the grandfather of analytic philosophy,
Frege. After the Golden Age of analytic philosophy - in Cambridge
and Austria - opposition to realism as well as the "linguistic
turn" contributed for a long time to the eclipse of ontology. 3
Thanks in large measure to the work of some of the senior
contributors to the present volume - Roderick Chisholm, Herbert
Hochberg, David Armstrong and Karel Lambert - ontology and
metaphysics now enjoy once again the central position they occupied
some eighty years ago in the heyday of analytic philosophy.
