Uriah Kriegel presents a rich exploration of the philosophy of the great nineteenth-century thinker Franz Brentano. He locates Brentano at the crossroads where the Anglo-American and continental European philosophical traditions diverged. At the centre of this account of Brentano's philosophy is the connection between mind and reality. Kriegel aims to develop Brentano's central ideas where they are overly programmatic or do not take into account philosophical developments that have taken place since Brentano's death a century ago; and to offer a partial defense of Brentano's system as quite plausible and in any case extraordinarily creative and thought-provoking. Brentano's system grounds a complete metaphysics and value theory in a well-developed philosophy of mind, and accordingly the book is divided into three parts, devoted to Brentano's philosophy of mind, his metaphysics, and his moral philosophy. The book's fundamental ambition is to show how Brentano combines the clarity and precision of the analytic philosopher with the sweeping vision of the continental philosopher. Brentano pays careful attention to important distinctions, conscientiously defines key notions, presents precise arguments for his claims, judiciously considers potential objections, and in general proceeds very methodically - yet he does so not as an end in itself, but as a means only. His end is the crafting of a grand philosophical system in the classical sense, attempting to produce nothing less than a unified theory of the true, the good, and the beautiful.

Franz Brentano developed an original theory of intrinsic value which he attempted to base on his philosophical psychology. Roderick Chisholm presents here a critical exposition of this theory and its place in Brentano's general philosophical system. He gives a detailed account of Brentano's ontology, showing how Brentano tried to secure objectivity for ethics not through a theory of practical reason, but through his theory of the intentional objects of emotions and desires. Professor Chisholm goes on to develop certain suggestions about intrinsic value made by Brentano and his students, and discusses their relevance to theodicy and the problem of evil. Brentano, as the teacher of Husserl, Meinong, Twardowski, and others, stands at the origin of the phenomenological tradition and of the Polish school of philosophy that developed after World War I. He has also had considerable influence on Anglo-American philosophy. This book will interest those concerned with the origins of phenomenological value theory and more generally with the connections between ethics and philosophical psychology.

Franz Brentano 1 was an important philosopher, but for a long time his importance was under-estimated. At least in the English speaking countries, he came to be remembered best as the initiator of a philoso­ phical position which he in fact abandoned for good and sufficient 2 reasons. His ultimate and most important contributions passed almost unnoticed. Even such a well-informed and well-prepared book as Passmore's IOO Years 01 Philosophy (Duckworth, 1957), is open to the same comment; Passmore concentrated his attention on the early Brentano, because he regarded his influence on the British philo­ sophical scene as being confined to Brentano's early work. Brentano's pupils, e. g. , Husserl, Meinong, Marty and Twardowski, were often influential and, often enough, they departed from the strict common­ sense and advisedly cautious attitude of their great teacher. Thus even on the continent, the public image of Brentano tended to be incomplete (and sometimes distorted), outside the narrower circle of pupils, followers, and people with special interest. This, or very nearly this, was still the case in 1955, when my contacts with the followers of Twardowski made me turn towards the study of Brentano. Since then there has been a gratifying revival of interest in his work. His early book on Aristotle was reprinted in German and two of his main positions, Psychologie and Wahrheit und Evidenz, are appearing in English translations. Translations into other languages, e. g.

Sont reunies dans cet ouvrage six etudes des principaux representants de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler L'ecole de Brentano . Les Souvenirs de Franz Brentano de Carl Stumpf et Edmund Husserl, decrivent sa vie et son activite philosophique de ses debuts a Wurzbourg jusqu'a son couronnement a Vienne. Les quatre autres etudes sont des contributions importantes des etudiants de Brentano a la philosophie. L'etude d'Ehrenfels, Sur les qualites de forme, fondatrice de la psychologie de la forme, est aussi une reference incontournable pour Meinong, dont nous traduisons ici Sur les objets d'ordre superieur et leur rapport a la perception interne, ou il met en place les idees a la base de sa theorie de l'objet. La cinquieme etude, Fonctions et formations de Twardowski, propose une analyse originale de la relation entre les actes (fonctions) et leurs contenus (formations). Enfin, Sur le rapport entre la grammaire et la logique d'Anton Marty, emblematique de la philosophie du langage brentanienne, vient clore cet ouvrage que nous avons introduit par Le legs de Brentano, une etude presentant les grandes lignes du programme philosophique de Brentano, la genealogie de son ecole ainsi que quelques-uns des debats suscites par les textes reproduits ici.

n the last decade Bettina Brentano-von Arnim (1785-1859) has been rediscovered, reread, and reinterpreted by German feminists, including writer Christa Wolf. In the process, Brentano-von Armin has emerged as a politically and socially aware poetic talent, an author who developed narrative strategies, anticipating much of feminist thought today. Bettina Brentano-von Arnim, the first book in English devoted to Brentano-von Arnim's controversial views on gender, politics, and language theory, continues the process of recent rediscovery of this complex and brilliant author.Contemporary readers familiar with feminist debates will be well-acquainted with the subjects, but will undoubtedly be surprised at the modernist treatment given them by Bettina Brentano-von Arnim. The portrait that emerges is one of a woman who was, in the best sense of the word, unsettled, who wanted to unsettle, and who remains unsettling.

Franz Brentano (1838-1917) led an intellectual revolution that sought to revitalize German-language philosophy and to reverse its post-Kantian direction. This volume brings together newly commissioned chapters on his important work in theory of judgement, reform of syllogistic logic, theory of intentionality, empirical descriptive psychology and phenomenology, theory of knowledge, metaphysics and ontology, value theory, and natural theology. It also offers a critical evaluation of Brentano's significance in his historical context, and of his impact on contemporary philosophy in both the analytic and the continental traditions.

Neuware -»Ich weiß, was ich bedarf! - ich bedarf, daß ich meine Freiheit behalte. Zu was - dazu, daß ich das ausrichte, und vollende, was eine innere Stimme mir aufgibt zu tun.« Auch bei der Herausgabe der Briefwechsel mit ihrem Bruder Cemens, mit Karoline von Günderrode und mit Goethe hat sich Bettine auf ihre Freiheit berufen und sie praktiziert: die Freiheit künstlerischen Gestaltens und Umgestaltens. Es scheint, als habe sie beim Komponieren und Umkomponieren der Briefwechsel immer jene Erfahrung intensiv erlebt, die Ernst Bloch einmal genannt hat: »des Ausformens rätselhafte Seligkeit«. Der erste Band der Bettinen-Ausgabe schlägt den Bogen von Bettines früher Lebensepoche in die vierziger Jahre, in denen Bettine die Briefromane »Cemens Brentano's Frühlingskranz« und »Die Günderode« publizierte. In Dokument und Darstellung rekonstruiert der Kommentar auf der Textgrundlage der Erstdrucke die Doppelperspektive von Originalbriefwechsel und späterer romanhafter Ausformung. Zukünftiger Beschäftigung mit Bettine bietet die neue Edition ihrer Werke die bislang in der Textherstellung verläßlichste und in der Kommentierung ausführlichste Grundlage. 1200 pp. Deutsch

When Franz Brentano introduced the concept of intentionality into modern philosophy, he initiated a revolution in philosophical thinking whose effects are still being felt - not least in contemporary developments in the field of cognitive science. Barry Smith's Austrian Philosophy: The Legacy of Franz Brentano is the first extensive study of the philosophy of the Brentano school. The Brentanian philosophy is oriented towards the problem of mental directedness, of how mind relates to objects. Thus in working out their 'theories of objects', the Brentanian philosophers - in contrast to Frege and his successors in the analytic movement - did not abandon psychological concerns in favor of an orientation towards language. Rather, their investigations in ontology proceeded always in tandem with work on the cognitive processes in which objects are experienced. In thus spanning the gulf between psychology and ontology, the Brentano school gave rise to movements of thought such as phenomenology and Gestalt psychology (the term 'Gestalt' was introduced as a technical term of philosophy by Brentano's student Ehrenfels). The Brentanists enjoyed close relations with Carl Menger and other early members of the Austrian school of economics and Austrian Philosophy contains a detailed study of the interconnections between their work on the general theory of value and subjective theories of value developed in the economic sphere. Brentano's student Kasimir Twardowski initiated the rich tradition of scientifically and logically oriented philosophy in Poland, and the role of Brentanianism in Polish philosophy, and especially in the development of Lesniewski's mereology, is here for the first time subjectedto extended historical treatment. Another Brentano student, Carl Stumpf, was responsible for introducing into philosophy the technical term 'Sachverhalt' or 'state of affairs', and the associated doctrine of realism in logic, too, is shown to have been a special preserve

Four superb tales that illustrate the wide range of Romantic storytelling. The work of outstanding writers from the great period of German Romanticism, each is touched by a fascination with the mysteries of life that lie beneath its rational surface. Includes "Blond Eckbert," by Ludwig Tieck; "The Story of Honest Casper and Fair Annie," by Clemens Brentano; "The Mad Invalid of Fort Ratonneau," by Achim von Arnim; and "My Cousin's Corner Window," by E.T.A. Hoffmann.

While many of the phenomenological currents in philosophy use a peculiar method, the type under consideration here is characterized by Franz Brentanos ambition to make philosophy scientific by adopting no other method but that of natural science. Brentano became particularly influential in teaching his students (such as Carl Stumpf, Anton Marty, Alexius Meinong, and Edmund Husserl) his descriptive psychology, which is concerned with mind as intentionally directed at objects. As Brentano and his students continued in their investigations in descriptive psychology, another side of Austrian phenomenology, namely object theory, became more and more prominent. The philosophical orientation under consideration in this collection of essays is accordingly a two-sided discipline, concerned with both mind and objects, and applicable to various areas of philosophy such as epistemology, philosophy of language, value theory, and ontology.
