  • Steps Toward a Computational Metaphysics∗ Ideal for the Exposition of Philosophical Theories

Since ancient times the axiomatic method has been important to philosophers both as an example of successful systematization in specific sciences (e.g., optics, acoustics and mathematics) as well as a possible Steps Toward a Computational Metaphysics∗ ideal for the exposition of philosophical theories.

  • Existence As a Real Property
    Francesco Berto Existence as a Real Property The Ontology of Meinongianism For Graham Priest, Long-distance teacher Prologue: Much Ado About Nothing Some philosophers think that something’s having intuitive content is very inconclusive evidence in favor of it. I think it is very heavy evidence in favor of anything, myself. I really don’t know, in a way, what more conclusive evidence one can have about anything, ultimately speaking. –Saul Kripke, Naming and Necessity 1 In an episode of The Today Show of some years ago, Gene Shalit – NBC’s film and book critic, famous for his wits – reviews several books sharing the feature of bearing entertaining titles. The highpoint of the monologue comes with Nonexistent Objects, by the UCLA philosopher Terence Parsons. Shalit wonders how one could write a whole book on things that do not exist!1 This whole book, too, is about things that do not exist. But if one stops to think, one may find that, in a sense, there is nothing special about this. There are, in fact, thousands of books speaking about unreal things. You have probably read quite a few of them: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories portrait the adventures of the detective Sherlock Holmes; The Lord of the Rings speaks at length of Gandalf the wizard. Doyle represents Sherlock Holmes as a detective living in London, Baker Street (precisely, at number 221b), describes his remarkable observational and deductive abilities, makes of him the arch-enemy of the criminal mastermind Moriarty. J.R.R. Tolkien characterizes Gandalf as a wizard with a pointy hat and a grey robe (a white one, from a certain point of the story onwards), a heavy pipe-herb 1 The anecdote is reported by Roy Sorensen [2003], p.

  • Ernst Mally's Theory of Properties!
    ERNST MALLY'S THEORY OF PROPERTIES! Roberto POLl University of Trento 1. Of Meinong's pupils, Ernst Mally is the one who probably made the most significant contribution to furthering the ideas of his teacher.2 It is sufficient, in this regard, to cite Meinong's explicit acknowledgement of Mally's work in his "The Theory ofObjects".3 Of greatest importance in this respect are Mally's unravelling of the distinction between Sein and Sosein4 and between nuclear and extra-nuclear properties,S and his introduction of important termi­ nological refinements which for the most part Meinong accepted.6 Nevertheless, the recent revival of interest in Meinong's theories has not been matched by equal consideration of Mally's work and insights. If we inspect the literature of the last fifteen years, it is immediately apparent that the overwhelming majority of references to Mally concern just two passages in his works, the two that Findlay quotes and comments on in his classic book on Meinong.7 One 1. I thank Liliana A1bertazzi, Johannes Brandl, Rudolf Haller, Dale Jacquette, Karl Schuhmann, Barry Smith and Jan Wo1enski for their comments on a previous version of this paper. 2. Ernst Mally was born in Krainburg (now Kranj, Yugoslavia) in 1879 and died in Graz in 1944. He studied philosophy, mathematics and physics at the University of Graz and in 1913 wrote his dissertation in philosophy under Meinong's supervision. On Meinong's death he was appointed director of the psychology laboratory that has been established by Meinong. In 1925 he became full professor and retained his chair in the university until 1942.

Translations of Russell’s letters from Alexius Meinong, Rudolf Ameseder and Ernst Mally discuss their contributions to the volume (with transcriptions of the German originals appended in this journal’s online edition). Together the notes and correspondence record the or- igin of Russell’s famous criticisms of Meinong’s theory of non-existent objects, which appeared in both “On Denoting” and the review in Mind in October 1905. ertrand Russell published a review in Mind 1905 of a collection of papers by Alexius Meinong and his students, Untersuchun- =gen zur Gegenstandstheorie und Psychologie (1904).1 The review _appeared later in the same issue of Mind as Russell’s most famous paper from 1905, “On Denoting”, in which Meinong’s views are dis- cussed in passing. To prepare for writing the review Russell read through the book’s contents, making several comments in the mar- gins, and then wrote fourteen leaves of notes on the articles that figure in the review. Russell also corresponded with Meinong and two of his authors, Ernst Mally and Rudolf Ameseder, in early 1905.2 The read- ing notes are described in the prefatory notes to the edition of the 1 “Review of Meinong and Others, Untersuchungen zur Gegenstandstheorie und Psychol- ogie”, Mind 14 (Oct.

However, if we theory, subject of analyze his writing after 1917, in which Meinong discusses timeless desire, subject of values, it becomes clear that he became increasingly disinterested in axiological feelings, existence of absolute psychology. Moreover, since the theory of the object, in Meinong’s view, values, psychologism could not be a part of metaphysics, he had to deal with the additional methodological difficulty of proving that the good exists independently of human subjectivity. The article discusses A. Meinong’s understanding of the object of desire, the object of a value-feeling and the connection between ethical values as objects of consciousness and time. It is shown that, according to Meinong, language is where values actually reside and only through language can their reality be explained. Alexius Meinong’s theory of objects was brought to the forefront of public discussion owing to a debate initiated by Bertrand Russell and, to a certain extent, owing to the logical interpretation proposed by the former’s disciple and successor Ernst Mally (Mally 1912). Though Russell thought highly of Mei- nong’s works, his theory of objects came under criticism for being inconsistent and unpromising on the grounds that analytical philosophy cannot deal with non-existent objects (Russell 1923, Russell 1973).
