Meinong on Meaning and Truth: Phenomenology & Mind, Vol. 6

The study aims at explaining those of Meinong's ideas that may be of interest to analytic philosophers. It contains all the basic information concerning Meinong's theory of objects with a special focus upon "objectives," which are Meinong's propositions. Meinong's theory of meaning and his epistemological views are discussed in detail. An outline of his conception of truth, which is classified as firmly realistic, is followed by a review of the critical works touching upon Meinong's epistemological ideas. The issues considered include reference of terms and sentences as well as the general features of a Meinongian-style semantics.

Anna Sierszulska has studied philosophy and English philology at the University of Cracow, Poland and Geneva, Switzerland.
