This volume brings together contributions that explore the
philosophy of Franz Brentano. It looks at his work both critically
and in the context of contemporary philosophy. For instance,
Brentano influenced the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl, the theory
of objects of Alexius Meinong, the early development of the Gestalt
theory, the philosophy of language of Anton Marty, the works of
Carl Stumpf in the psychology of tone, and many others. Readers
will also learn the contributions of Brentano's work to much
debated contemporary issues in philosophy of mind, ontology, and
the theory of emotions. The first section deals with Brentano's
conception of the history of philosophy. The next approaches his
conception of empirical psychology from an empirical standpoint and
in relation with competing views on psychology from the period. The
third section discusses Brentano's later programme of a descriptive
psychology or "descriptive phenomenology" and some of his most
innovative developments, for instance in the theory of emotions.
The final section examines metaphysical issues and applications of
his mereology. His reism takes here an important place. The
intended readership of this book comprises phenomenologists,
analytic philosophers, philosophers of mind and value, as well as
metaphysicians. It will appeal to both graduate and undergraduate
students, professors, and researchers in philosophy and psychology.
The book discusses Franz Brentano's impact on Austrian philosophy.
It contains both a critical reassessment of Brentano's place in the
development of Austrian philosophy at the turn of the 20th century
and a reevaluation of the impact and significance of his philosophy
of mind or 'descriptive psychology' which was Brentano's most
important contribution to contemporary philosophy and to the
philosophy in Vienna. In addition, the relation between Brentano,
phenomenology, and the Vienna Circle is investigated, together with
a related documentation of Brentano's disciple Alfred Kastil (in
German). The general part deals with the ongoing discussion of
Carnap's "Aufbau" (Vienna Circle Lecture by Alan Chalmers) and the
philosophy of mind, with a focus on physicalism as discussed by
Carnap and Wittgenstein (Gergely Ambrus). As usual, two reviews of
recent publications in the philosophy of mathematics (Paolo
Mancosu) and research on Otto Neurath's lifework (Jordi Cat/Adam
Tuboly) are included as related research contributions. This book
is of interest to students, historians, and philosophers dealing
with the history of Austrian and German philosophy in the 19th and
20th century.
Anton Marty (Schwyz, 1847-Prague, 1914) contributed significantly
to some of the central themes of Austrian philosophy. This
collection contributes to assessing the specificity of his theses
in relation with other Austrian philosophers. Although strongly
inspired by his master, Franz Brentano, Marty developed his own
theory of intentionality, understood as a sui generis relation of
similarity. Moreover, he established a comprehensive philosophy of
language, or "semasiology", based on descriptive psychology, and in
which the utterer's meaning plays a central role, anticipating
Grice's pragmatic semantics. The present volume, including sixteen
articles by scholars in the field of the history of Austrian
philosophy and in contemporary philosophy, aims at exposing some of
Marty's most important contributions in philosophy of mind and
language, but also in other fields of research such as ontology and
metaphysics. As archive material, the volume contains the edition
of a correspondence between Marty and Hans Cornelius on similarity.
This book will interest scholars in the fields of the history of
philosophy in the 19th and 20th centuries, historians of
phenomenology, and, more broadly, contemporary theoretical
philosophers.
