This volume addresses key aspects of the philosophical psychology
elaborated by Alexius Meinong and some of his students. It covers a
wide range of topics, from the place of psychological
investigations in Meinong's unique philosophical program to his
thought-provoking views on perception, colors,
"Vorstellungsproduktion," assumptions, values, truth, and emotions.
This collection of fourteen original essays addresses the seminal
contribution of Franz Brentano and his heirs, to philosophy of
language. Despite the great interest provoked by the Brentanian
tradition and its multiple connections with early analytic
philosophy, precious little is known about the Brentanian
contribution to philosophy of language. The aim of this new
collection is to fill this gap by providing the reader with a more
thorough understanding of the legacy of Brentano and his school, in
their pursuit of a unique research programme according to which the
analysis of meaning is inseparable from philosophical inquiries
into what goes on in the mind and what there is in the world. In
three parts, the volume first reconstructs Brentano's pathbreaking
thoughts on meaning and grammatical illusions, exploring their
strong connections with the Austro-German tradition and analytic
philosophy. It then addresses the multifaceted debates on the
objectivity of meaning in the Brentano School and its aftermath
(Meinong, Husserl, Ingarden, Twardowski and the Lvov-Warsaw
School). Finally, part three explores Brentano's wider legacy,
namely: Husserl's theory of modification and typicality, Buhler's
theory of linguistic and non-linguistic expressions, and
Wittgenstein's thoughts on guidance and rule-following. The result
is a unique collection of essays which shows the significance,
originality and timely character of the Brentanian philosophy of
language.
