Abstract

The author studies the last period of Brentano’s thought and its characteristic refusal of semantic entities. During this « reist » period, Brentano fought against the idea of something like the « content » of a judgement. Confronting this conception, according to which nothing is but what is real, with the one of the « semantic objectivism », exemplified by Bolzano and Husserl, the author underlines the split which divides the so-called Austrian philosophical tradition.
