	Meinong
		Meinong tries to show that it is necessary to assume such acts for a variety of reasons and that they throw a light on some of the most; difficult questions in the theory of knowledge.
		Meinong holds that you cannot identify 'is not' with 'differs from,' because difference has degrees whilst A is not B is a statement incapable of degrees.
		Meinong rejects the view that a piece of reasoning like a syllogism which would be an inference if its premises were asserted is nothing but a hypothetical proposition with a complex antecedent when they are merely angenommen.

	Alexius Meinong's Theory of Objects
		Meinong's incompletely determined objects, which violate the law of excluded middle, play an extremely important role in his theory of knowledge; they are the "pointers" through which the human mind refers to the completely determinate, existing objects.
		Meinong wrote many important articles which were collected by his pupils in the two volumes of Gesammelte Abhandlungen, one volume devoted to psychology, the other to epistemology and object-theory: a third, to be devoted to value-theory, was never issued.
		Meinong said that such an object is a defective object and suggested that the concept may throw light upon some of the logical paradoxes.

	Lycan on Lewis and Meinong
		Meinong split the world into three categories of thing; it varies throughout his writings, but this seems to be the basic version (note that most philosophers who have cause to refer to Meinong's theory - usually dismissively - ignore the third category, lumping it in with the second).
		Meinong made explicitly clear that words 'express' ideas and are not used to refer to them but to transcendent objects which differ from those ideas and are the denotations of the words in question.
		Meinong and Russell may have disagreed over what can be a 'possible object of thought', but their agreement on the main point is clear (see Findlay [1963], p.47); there is an infinite number of things which do not exist, which 'are' because they can be referred to, and of which some are referred to.

	Meinong and the Ontology of Spatial Objects
		Meinong, notoriously, struggled against the prejudice in favour of the actual and fought on behalf of the ontological rights of incomplete, impossible, and indeterminate objects.
		Meinong's ideas can in this way be seen to have relevance for studies of the philosophical foundations of the theories of land-surveying and of international law.

	[No title]
		The criticism of Meinong from the point of view of semantics is then simple: he failed to notice the corresponding ambiguity in `think about'.
		Whatever the psychological facts about Meinong himself, I will focus on what happens if we suppose that instead of his failing to notice the difference, he merely intended to analyse the difference differently than we are inclined to.
		Meinong held that there is no absurdity in holding that there is a non-specific existent gold mountain, though it doesn't exist C because you can be existent even without existing.

	Anna Sierszulska - Meinong on Meaning and Truth - Reviewed by Dale Jacquette, The Pennsylvania State University, ...
		Meinong's philosophy to be understood needs to be presented sympathetically first in order to be competently criticized, avoiding what Meinong himself referred to in his (1904) essay 'Ãber Gegenstandstheorie' as 'the prejudice in favor of the actual'.
		Meinong, to be sure, is not obligated to agree with Ameseder, but the fact is that on at least one important occasion Meinong does in fact endorse Ameseder's slogan on just this point.
		Even in those places where Sierszulska delves into Meinong's original writings, she offers almost nothing in her account to clue the innocent reader to the fact that Meinong changed his mind over time about certain of his central theses, many of which are relevant to the evolution of his theory of objectives.

		Meinong - Being and Existence - Alexius Meinong (1853 - 1920)
		Meinong is notorious for his -- in the prevailing opinion: bizarre and clearly untenable--view on being and existence.
		However, because of Meinong's notoriety, the very distinction between being and existence has come to share the bad reputation of his more extravagant ontological claims and is commonly labeled ``Meinongian'', even though Meinong was neither the first nor the last philosopher to make it.

	Maverick Philosopher - Meinong and Meinongianism
		Now Meinong does distinguish between existence and subsistence (Bestehen), but the latter is the mode of Being of ideal entities such as state of affairs; it has nothing to do with items like the golden mountain and the round square.
		Meinong is notorious for his — in the prevailing opinion: bizarre and clearly untenable--view on being and existence.
		This is not Meinong's doctrine at all, but a doctrine of the early Russell that is often read back into Meinong by people who have never taken the trouble to read him.

	Ernst Mally (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		According to Meinong, the former is an object (the waters of which confer everlasting life but) which doesn't exist, while the latter is an object which is round, square, and which couldn't exist.
		Meinong adopted one of Mally's distinctions for solving the first of these problems, namely, the distinction between nuclear (formal/konstitutorisch) and extra-nuclear (außerformal/außerkonstitutorisch) properties (cf., Meinong 1915, 176; Findlay 1963, 176).
		Meinong and many other philosophers shared and still share the belief that the world is constituted by completely determined elements or completely determined individual things and processes which taken together make up the universe.

	Critical Notice of A. Meinong, Über Annahmen (Leipzig, 1910)
		It is that beside acts of judgment and ideas there is an intermediate kind of psychical state -- the act of supposing -- which resembles judgment in that its content can be affirmative or negative, but differs from it and resembles ideas in that it is unaccompanied by conviction.
		Meinong tries to show that it is necessary to assume such acts for a variety of reasons and that they throw a light on some of the most; difficult questions in the theory of knowledge.
		There is further a contribution to Ethics and Aesthetics in Meinong's attempt to show the necessity of assuming something comparable to suppositions in the realms of Feeling and Volition.

	Nonexistent Objects (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Meinong was concerned about the problem of intentional states which are not directed at anything existent.
		(Meinong 1972, §25) An object's nuclear properties are supposed to constitute the object's “nature”, while its extranuclear properties are supposed to be external to the object's nature.
		Russell, Bertrand (1973a): “Review of: A. Meinong, Untersuchungen zur Gegenstandstheorie und Psychologie”.

	Intentionality
		One rather extreme solution, famously proposed by Brentano's student Alexius Meinong, is to hold that there are objects that do not exist.
		Meinong used 'subsists' to mean exists, and 'exists' to mean something like spatiotemporally exists.
		The second paradox is that a mental state can bear the intentional relation to something, without there being any particular thing that the state bears the relation to.

	Dallas Willard ARTICLES
		The book's value for illumination of philosophical issues seems to me to be of greater value than all of this might suggest.
		To answer this question the author considers two main points: parallels and contrasts in the other Brentanists to Husserl's rejection of psychologism, and their theories of intentional reference in comparison with his.
		With reference to the main inner articulations and classifications of acts, "Meinong and Husserl again turn out to be the heretics." (p.

	PHIL 309: Twentieth Century Analytic Philosophy
		Frege and Meinong think that DPs do correspond to genuine constituents of propositions—they must say that DP sentences are at least in aprt about the denotation of the DP.
		Russell doesn’t have to worry about trying to find some referent of a denoting phrase that appears to be empty, for he analyzes those phrases away and is not committed to DP sentences being about the denotation of the DP.
		Meinong objects to P2 by claiming that apparently empty denoting phrases denote objects that exist but do not subsist.

		Finally, Meinong's theory of objects is presented as inspiring the development of Meinongian logics, with his Aussersein as the prototype of an all-inclusive semantic domain.

		Edgar Morscherâs paper on the origination of Meinongâs Gegenstandstheorie casts light on a worry that occurs to one who comes to Meinong from Russellâs theory of âdenotingâ phrases or terms.
		In particular, one is apt to read Meinong, in the spirit of earlier Analytic philosophers, as if he were tripped up by a mistake of logical grammar.
		He does not claim to have shown that the source of Meinongâs theory lies in Zimmermann/Bolzano, or to have proof that Meinong was influenced by these passages in Zimmermannâs textbook or even knew of them.

		Elements of Ethics examines Meinong's value theory from an epistemological standpoint and gives a critical exposition of Meinong's first attempts at a deontic logic; special consideration is given to the Law of Omission.
		In consequence of the mathematical development of his time, especially non-Euclidean geometries, Meinong developed the notion of precision objects and precision concepts.
		A translation is included of the fragment Ethische Bausteine (Elements of Ethics), together with Meinong's own notes and those of the editors of the text.

	WILLIAM J. RAPAPORT: PUBLICATIONS
		These are taken from problems concerning the form of negative existential propositions, the truth of sentences with non-referring subject terms, the nature of genuine identity, the uniform nature of ordinary language with respect to fact and fiction, scientific language, the phenomenon of intentionality, and Fregean problems of sense and reference.
		One, due to Terence Parsons, is an explicit attempt to reconstruct Meinong's theory and, thus, shares similar goals with the revised theory developed in the previous chapter, but it makes little or no attempt to fit such a theory to any external data.
		Abstract: This essay re-examines Meinong's "Über Gegenstandstheorie" and undertakes a clarification and revision of it that is faithful to Meinong, overcomes the various objections to his theory, and is capable of offering solutions to various problems in philosophy of mind and philosophy of language.

	Alexius Meinong, 19th Century Austrian Philosopher
		In debt to his teacher, Brentano, Meinong is known for an innovative, if not controversial, theory of intentionality, claiming that objects are totally independent of the mind, and that intended objects do not need to exist in order to be.
		In 1905, Bertrand Russell wrote a critical essay on Meinong's Gegenstandstheorie, entitled "On Denoting." This essay can now be found in a book of Russell's essays entitled Logic and Knowledge: Essays, 1901-1950, edited by Robert C. Marsh.

		Der Briefwechsel zwischen Friedrich Jodl und Alexius Meinong
		Bereits im Juni 1885 wandte Meinong sich mit einem zweiten Schreiben an Jodl, in dem er ihn darum bat, seine Streitschrift für den bedrohten Erhalt des Philosophieunterrichts an den österreichischen Gymnasien (27) zu rezensieren, eine Thematik, bei der er mit Jodls uneingeschränkter Unterstützung rechnen konnte.
		Sie gehen in Ihren praktischen Vorschlägen nicht weit genug, und versperren sich dadurch den Weg zu einer radikalen Lösung der Frage [...] Allem was Sie über die Notwendigkeit philosophischer Vorbildung für die verschiedensten Berufe sagen, gebe ich nicht bloss meine vollste Zustimmung: ich möchte Ihre Sätze sogar noch verschärfen.

		My contention is that nonsense functions in multiple ways, so it nonsense is a family resemblance concept in the same way that language, mathematics, and games is. Nonsense may appear to be univocal, but Wittgenstein has warned against this too (see PI Section 12).
		One hundred years ago (or so), Alexius Meinong and Bertrand Russell engaged in a debate about the existence of objects and how we refer to them.
		Meinong argues that nonexistent objects subsist and we can refer to them.

	Phenomenology
		Alexius Meinong tried to provide a systematic answer to such questions by introducing a third element that mediates between a mental act and its object, the content of the act (rather like Frege's sense).
		Although Meinong's scheme successfully guarantees the objective reality of intentional objects of every sort, its ontological cost is high.
		The world according to Meinong is crowded with false facts and non-existent realities.
