Phenomenology as practised by Adolf Reinach ( 1883-191 7) in his
all too brief philosophical career exemplifies all the virtues of
Husserl's Logical Investigations. It is sober, concerned to be
clear and deals with specific problems. It is therefore
understandable that, in a philosophical climate in which Husserl's
masterpiece has come to be regarded as a mere stepping stone on the
way to his later Phenomeno logy, or even to the writings of a
Heidegger, Reinach's contributions to exact philo sophy have been
all but totally forgotten. The topics on which Reinach wrote most
illuminatingly, speech acts (which he called 'social acts') and
states of affairs (Sachverhalte ), as well as his realism about the
external world, have come to be regarded as the preserve of other
traditions of exact philosophy. Like my fellow contributors, I hope
that the present volume will go some way towards correcting this
unfortunate historical accident. Reinach's account of judgements
and states of affairs, an account that precedes those of Russell
and Wittgenstein, his 1913 treatment of speech acts, his reinter
pretation of Hume and aspects of his legal philosophy are the main
philosophical topics dealt with in what follows. But his analysis
of deliberation as well as his work on movement and Zeno's
paradoxes get only a passing mention."
