First published in 1973. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &

Franz Brentano is recognised as one of the most important
philosophers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
This work, first published in English in 1988, besides being an
important contribution to metaphysics in its own right, has
considerable historical importance through its influence on
Husserl's views on internal time consciousness. The work is
preceded by a long introduction by Stephan K?rner in collaboration
with Brentano's literary executor.
First published in English in1966, The True and The Evident is a
translation of Franz Brentano's posthumous Wahrheit und Evidenz,
edited by Oscsar Kraus. The book includes Brentano's influential
lecture On the Concept of Truth, read before the Vienna
Philosophical Society, a variety of essays, drawn from the immense
wealth of Brentano's unpublished material, and letters written by
him to Marty, Kraus Hillebrand, and Husserl.
Brentano rejects the familiar versions of the correspondence
theory of truth and proposes to define the true in terms of the
evident. In criticising the metaphysical assumptions presupposed by
the correspondence theory, he sets forth a conception of language
and reality that has subsequently become known as reism.
Based on a lecture given before the Vienna Law Society in 1889,
this title had an extraordinary influence in the field of
philosophy. It provided the basis for the theory of value as this
was developed by Meinong, Husserl and Scheler. In addition, the
doctrine of intentionality that is presented here is central to
contemporary philosophy of mind.
Expanding on the theory of ethics first posited by Brentano in
The Origin of our Knowledge of Right and Wrong this re-issued work,
first published posthumously in 1952, is based on series of
lectures on practical philosophy, given at the university of Vienna
from 1876 to 1894.
The English-speaking reader will find it interesting to examine
the step-by-step development of Brentano's ethical theory, his
extensive critique of British moral philosophers, and his unusually
detailed section on casuistry.
Here, for the first time in English, is Franz Brentano's The
Teaching of Jesus, a compendium of texts Brentano assembled for
publication shortly before his death that constitute a frank,
public settling of accounts with the Christian religion. Originally
conceived by Brentano as a volume that might help others similarly
led to doubt the doctrines of Christianity, the book is remarkably
free of bitterness or spitefulness. On the contrary, what makes the
book of singular importance, especially now, is its careful attempt
at taking stock of the positive and negative influence Christianity
has had in history. This text appeals to those researchers and
scholars interested in the work of Franz Brentano and his work on
the philosophy of religion, in this case, Christianity.
Franz Brentano is one of the founding fathers of twentieth century
philosophy, celebrated for introducing the concept of
intentionality to philosophy as well as making significant
contributions to ethics and logic. His work exerted great influence
on major philosophers such as Edmund Husserl, but also philosophers
travelling in the opposite direction, such Gottlob Frege. He
counted Sigmund Freud amongst his students and Freud expressed
great admiration for his teacher in several letters. Psychology
from an Empirical Standpoint is Brentano's most important and
brilliant work. It helped to establish psychology as a scientific
discipline, but did so in a highly original and distinctive manner
by arguing for a form of introspectionism. Brentano argued that
consciousness is always unified and that the hallmark of the mind
is that one's thoughts are always directed towards something - his
famous theory of 'intentionality' - arguments that have deep
implications not just for philosophy but psychology, cognitive
science and consciousness studies. With a new foreword by Tim
Crane.
Franz Brentano (1838-1917) is a key figure in the development of
Twentieth Century thought. It was his work that set Husserl on to
the road of phenomenology and intentionality, that inspired
Meinong's theory of the object which influenced Bertrand Russell,
and the entire Polish school of philosophy.
Descriptive Psychology presents a series of lectures given by
Brentano in 1887; they were the culmination of his work, and the
clearest statement of his mature thought. It was this later period
which proved to be so important in the work of his student,
Husserl.
This is the first English translation of his work. Benito Muller
has added a concise introduction which places Brentano within the
history of philosophy and psychology, and locates his influence in
contemporary thought.
