Abstract

[In the constellation of Brentano's students who became renowned scholars and philosophers, Alexius Meinong shines as one of the brightest stars. The founder of Gegenstandstheorie,the theory of intended objects, Meinong understood his contributions to metaphysics, philosophical psychology, logic, semantics, epistemology, and value theory, as a systematic continuation of Brentano's realist empiricist intentionalism.
