	Franz Brentano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Franz Brentano studied philosophy at the universities of Munich, Würzburg, Berlin (with Adolf Trendelenburg) and Münster.
		Brentano is best known for his reintroduction of the concept of intentionality—a concept derived from Scholastic philosophy—to contemporary philosophy in his lectures and in his work Psychologie vom Empirischen Standpunkte (Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint).
		Brentano used the expression "intentional inexistence" to indicate the status of the objects of thought in the mind.

		Brentano then began writing one of his best-known and most influential works, Psychologie vom empirischen Standpunkte (1874; "Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint"), in which he tried to present a systematic psychology that would be a science of the soul.
		In 1874 Brentano was appointed professor at the University of Vienna.

	Franz Brentano's The True and the Evident
		Franz Brentano (1838-1917) was a psychologist and philosopher who taught at the University of Würzburg and later at the University of Vienna.
		Brentano introduces a new theory of truth, saying that a true judgment either attributes to an object something which belongs to the object, or that it denies of an object something which does not belong to the object.
		Brentano’s theory of truth is nominalistic in that it says that the concept of universality cannot be thought of unless there is some particular thing that is universal.

	Dale Jacquette (ed.) - The Cambridge Companion to Brentano - Reviewed by Philip J. Bartok , St. John's College - ...
		Brentanoâs philosophical and psychological studies formed the core of a broad school of Austrian philosophy, a school that employed a distinctive empiricist methodology in opposition to what Brentano and his followers took to be the metaphysical extravagances of nineteenth century German idealism and romanticism.
		Brentano insisted that the true approach to philosophy must be a âscientificâ one, grounded in the self-evident data of immediate perception and committed to high ideals of clarity, precision, and conceptual rigor.
		Brentanoâs thesis is thereby revealed to be merely one among a number of descriptive psychological claims, all purportedly grounded in the immediate evidence of the faculty of inner perception.

	Wikipedia: Franz Brentano
		Franz Brentano (January 16, 1838 - March 17, 1917) was an influential figure in both philosophy and psychology.
		His influence was felt by other figures such as Edmund Husserl and Alexius Meinong who followed and adapted Brentano's views.
		Brentano wrote of the "intentional inexistence" of the objects of thought in the mind, which he maintained could not be accounted for by anything physical; a proof, it seemed, of dualism - the existence of a separate spiritual world.

	Review: The Origin of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong (1903): reviewed by G. E. Moore
		Brentano himself is fully conscious that he has made a very great advance in the theory of Ethics.
		Brentano recognizes two very important concepts when he recognizes both the concept of what it is right to love and of the rightness which belongs to love of such things; and the question which of these is properly denoted by the words good in itself might seem to be merely a verbal question.
		Nevertheless, owing to Brentano’s extraordinary clearness with regard to the precise relevance of all he says, the contents of the book are far more easy to grasp than is usual with books of the most regular form: there seems to be no reason to wish that he had arranged his matter differently.

	CHAPTER VI
		Brentano’s ethics was intuitionist.6 He employed the notion of true love, true predilection, when looking for a criterion of what is good or bad in the passions as a certain character of human desires.
		Brentano believed that evaluation is a phenomenon parallel to judgments and manifested in either negative or positive attitudes towards an issue.
		Brentano maintains that "beyond any doubt the presentation of good and better has its source in experience"51 and that the final source of our cognition of something good and better is always our inner perception of true acts of love or preferences directed at general objects.

	Intentionality
		Brentano did not mean that mental states are about peculiar nonexistent objects, but was rather referring to the (admittedly obscure) sense in which the object of a mental state is "in" the mind.
		Brentano himself did appear to think that a mental state was always related to an intentional object, but in a later appendix he insisted that the "only thing which is required by mental reference is the person thinking.
		One may accept the Brentano thesis as either showing the indispensibility of intentional idioms and the importance of an autonomous science of intention, or as showing the baselessness of intentional idioms and the emptiness of a science of intention.

		FRANZ JAKOB CLEMENS (1815 - 1862) was one of the most powerful promotors of neo-Thomism in Germany, who aggravated with his polemical writings the tension in the Catholic camp between the so-called "German" and "Ultramontane" theologians.
		BRENTANO left the congregation after several months, however, having decided to study theology in order to become a priest and to pursue an academic career as a philosopher.
		BRENTANO then married, as a result of which he once more lost his professorship and was constrained to teach for several years as Privatdozent.

		Brentano then began writing one of his best-known and most influential works, Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint (1874), in which he tried to present a systematic psychology as a “science of the soul”.
		Brentano's psychology is based on a revival of the scholastic theory of “intentional existence”, that is, when one “directs the mind to something” it may thereby be deemed to have “immanent objectivity”, without any reference to a concept of objective existence outside of consciousness.
		Brentano was eventually accepted back to his post in 1881 where his students included Sigmund Freud, psychologist Carl Stumpf, philosopher Edmund Husserl, and Tomás Masaryk, the founder of modern Czechoslovakia.

	Brentano's Theory of Judgement
		Brentano does not explicitly discuss this view, but his objection to it seems clear: The polarity between truth and falsity must be grounded in our ability to form opposite judgements.
		References to Brentano's theory of judgement are frequent in the literature, and there are several new publications in which this theory is extensively discussed or considered in relation to works that have been directly or indirectly influenced by Brentano.
		The historical context of Brentano's theory of judgement is reconsidered in Robin Rollinger's paper “Austrian theories of judgement: Bolzano, Brentano, Meinong, and Husserl” (2004).

	Franz Brentano's Ontology
		Brentano was not among those who in a moment of intuition sketch the architectonics of a system, leaving the relevant details to be fitted into it later.
		"Franz Brentano did not like to publish books; as he once said, he hated the "secondary work" that was connected with proof-reading, referencing of quotations, etc. He thus left the publication of his literary remains to his disciples.
		Judgments are conceived by Brentano as acts of affirmation or negation; thus he rejects a propositional theory of judgment.

	Brentano's Early Theory of Judgment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Brentano has by this point in the text already committed himself to the famous claim that intentionality”; is the hallmark of the mental.
		After Brentano establishes judgment as an irreducible kind of mental relation (as opposed to an intensity or a combination of presentations) his next major claim is that the structure of judging is not a relation of subject to predicate.
		Brentano understands this point as the natural extension of the famous Kantian dictum: “existence is not a predicate.” Kant’s refutation of the ontological argument led him to recognize that certain judgments, the existential ones, were not apophantic.

		Brentano was, of course, a major player in this effort, under the influence of his beloved professor, Franz Jakob Clemens, and of other now less well-know teachers.
		Far less known is the depth of his involvement with and commitment to the program of the intellectual restoration of Catholic teachings, and how that led to his work on Aristotle, from his doctoral dissertation onward, and to his role in the âreceptionâ of Aristotle among Catholic and non-Catholic thinkers of his day.
		I think the primary contribution of this volume lies in its illumination of the history of the thought and culture in which the work of Brentano and his students was submerged, and apart from which it has little philosophical life.

		Brentano's style of philosophy broke sharply with that prevailing in Germany, where the idealist philosophy of Kant and his successors held sway.
		Franz Brentano, who taught at the University of Vienna for twenty years, conceived of philosophy in an entirely different way.
		Against the neo-Kantians, those in the tradition of Brentano think that "we can know what the world is like both in its individual and in its general aspect, and our knowledge will likely manifest a progressive improvement, both in depth of penetration and in adequacy to the structures penetrated" (p.

		When Franz Brentano introduced the concept of intentionality into modern philosophy, he initiated a revolution in philosophical thinking whose effects are still being felt - not least in contemporary developments in the field of cognitive science.
		In thus spanning the gulf between psychology and ontology, the Brentano school gave rise to movements of thought such as phenomenology and Gestalt psychology (the term 'Gestalt' was introduced as a technical term of philosophy by Brentano's student Ehrenfels).
		Brentano's student Kasimir Twardowski initiated the rich tradition of scientifically and logically oriented philosophy in Poland, and the role of Brentanianism in Polish philosophy, and especially in the development of Lesniewski's mereology, is here for the first time subjectedto extended historical treatment.
