Scholars from all the continents have written articles to celebrate
the seventieth birthday of Jan Srzednicki, a thinker still at the
height of his powers. Srzednicki's scientific work alternates
between problems of Austrian and German philosophy and questions of
political philosophy. The papers published in this volume discuss
topics of general philosophy, in the clear and deep style both of
Srzednicki's own philosophical work and of the authors investigated
in his writings (mainly Brentano and the Polish tradition of
analytic philosophy). The topics developed pertain to the fields of
epistemology (common sense, knowledge and objectivity, truth and
perception) and of logic and philosophy of logic (paraconsistent
logic, definition and duality).
Formal ontology combines two ideas, one originating with Husserl,
the other with Frege: that of ontology of the formal aspects of all
objects, irrespective of their particular nature, and ontology
pursued by employing the tools of modern formal disciplines,
notably logic and semantics. These two traditions have converged in
recent years and this is the first collection to encompass them as
a whole in a single volume. It assembles essays from authors around
the world already widely known for their work in formal ontology,
and illustrates that through the application of formal methods the
ancient discipline of ontology may be put on a firm methodological
basis. The essays not only illuminate the nature of ontology and
its relation to other areas, in language, logic and everyday life,
but also demonstrate that common issues from the analytical and
phenomenological traditions may be discussed without ideological
barriers. Audience: advanced students of and specialists in
philosophy, linguistics, cognitive science, computer science,
database engineering.
The central idea developed by the contributions to this book is
that the split between analytic philosophy and phenomenology -
perhaps the most impor tant schism in twentieth-century philosophy
- resulted from a radicalization of reciprocal partialities. Both
schools of thought share, in fact, the same cultural background and
their same initial stimulus in the thought of Franz Brentano. And
one outcome of the subsequent rift between them was the oblivion
into which the figure and thought of Brentano have fallen. The
first step to take in remedying this split is to return to Brentano
and to reconstruct the 'map' of Brent ani sm. The second task
(which has been addressed by this book) is to revive inter est in
the theoretical complexity of Brentano' s thought and of his pupils
and to revitalize those aspects that have been neglected by
subsequent debate within the various movements of Brentanian
inspiration. We have accordingly decided to organize the book into
two introductory es says followed by two sections (Parts 1 and 2)
which systematically examine Brentano's thought and that of his
followers. The two introductory essays re construct the reasons for
the 'invisibility', so to speak, of Brentano and set out of his
philosophical doctrine. Part 1 of the book then ex the essential
features amines six of Brentano's most outstanding pupils (Marty,
Stumpf, Meinong, Ehrenfels, Husserl and Twardowski). Part 2
contains nine essays concentrating on the principal topics
addressed by the Brentanians."
