Nell'ambito della rinascita della filosofia di Aristotele nell'Ottocento, una collocazione particolare spetta all'ampio dibattito sulla dottrina delle categorie che ha coinvolto filosofi, filologi e storici della filosofia antica come Trendelenburg, Zeller, Brandis, Bonitz, Prantl, Brentano, Steinthal e Apelt. All'origine del dibattito vi sono le critiche mosse da Kant, e riprese da Hegel, alla dottrina delle categorie di Aristotele. Nel replicare a Kant – ma nel tempo il dibattito si rende indipendente dalle critiche kantiane – i vari autori offrono una disamina della dottrina categoriale aristotelica da più punti di vista e, allo stesso tempo, una ricostruzione e un commento di una teoria sparsa in tanti testi dello Stagirita

The theses exposed by Alexius Meinong in two newspaper articles in 1873 are taken as the paradigm of a feeling that was common to young Austrian intelligentsia. Meinong upholds a conception of life as struggle and of history as a series of struggles among nations. In his view, the defence of the interests of a people is absolute and generates conflicts among nations that will increasingly dominate future scenarios. The concept of nation has an identification function inward and one of dissociation outward. This discourse is contextualised within the framework of the various student corporations of the University of Vienna, where the new ruling class was forming which, despite different political ideas, was united by nationalism. Finally, the paper analyses the opposing views of Eric J. Hobsbawm and Anthony D. Smith on the idea of nation and suggests some similarities between the Habsburg Empire and the European Union. Keywords: War; Nation; Nationalism; Austrian history and philosophy; Meinong.

A lie is neither a false proposition, nor a mistake, nor a mere fiction; it
is a type of fiction, an act, and precisely an intentional act. An act calls
for a subject, and therefore a lie is inseparable from its subject. Together,
they make up a real object: it has to be real, since a lie produces effects,
and the cause-effect relationship only holds between real beings. Like every
real object, a lie unfolds in a (phenomenological) context. But there is
more: it identifies a (dialectical) context.

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 book presents the long-awaited critical edition of an unpublished manuscript of 277 pages containing Twardowski's lecture notes on logic given in German at the University of Vienna. As to length, language and topic, this text is unique among the works of the author, who is renowned for his 'Zur Lehre vom Inhalt und Gegenstand der Vorstellungen' (1894), an influential but short book that has been out of stock for a long time already. In 'Logik' Twardowski's ideas are exposed in a much more extensive and interestingly revised form. The rest of Twardowski's production is in Polish, a language inaccessible to many readers.
This edition will be of special interest to philosophers interested in the scientific philosophy in Vienna before the Wiener Kreis, to phenomenologists and anyone interested in early phenomenology and Husserl's thought, to historians of early analytic philosophy, and particularly to specialists of Austrian philosophy and the continental analytic tradition from Bolzano to Tarski, for whom the book will be a truly indispensable source.
