Relations in the Early Works of Meinong and Husserl (C. Ierna)

Both Alexius Meinong and Edmund Husserl wrote about relations in their early works, in periods in which they were still influenced by Franz Brentano. However, besides the split between Brentano and Meinong, the latter also accused Husserl of plagiarism with respect to the theory of relations. Examining Meinong’s and Husserl’s early works and the Brentanist framework they were written in, we will try to assess their similarities and differences. As they shared other sources besides Brentano, we will consider very carefully whether we should speak at all of influence or plagiarism. Despite Meinong’s accusations it seems that both he and Husserl took over some elements from Brentano and, partially through him, from John Stuart Mill, who appears to be the most probable source on relations.

The following philosophers are of central importance to the student of genuine philosophy: Hume, Kant, J. S. Mill, Brentano, William James, Meinong, Marty, Mally, Husserl and Carnap.  For logic we should add Krause and Bolzano.
