Abstract

The work proposes a systematic analysis of Meinong's theory of memory within the context of perception, fantasy, time, and evidence. Perhaps the most unique feature of the work resides in the systematic arrangement of Meinong's major concepts, such as perception, judgment, and object, scattered throughout his writings. The reader need not look for a development of Meinong's thought, but for systematic relationships among major concepts, and for the intrinsic problems of such relationships. The author offers a brief historical connection between Brentano, Meinong, and Chisholm--both for some of the influences on, and for some of the clarifications of, Meinong's concepts. The latter are due for an extensive clarification.
