4.0 out of 5 stars An introduction to Alexius Meinong -, February 18, 2001

This review is from: Arguments of the Philosophers: Meinong-Arg Philosophers (Transformations (Routledge Paperback)) (Library Binding)

This book on Meinong is primarily concerned with his arguments for the positions for which he is famous among some philosophers and infamous among others. If one becomes aware of how Meinong's full ontology develops very slowly over many years from very austere beginnings, how he resists the temptations to solve a problem by admitting a new kind of entity, and how he gives in only after a whole series of arguments for the new kind of entity has accumulated, one will, hopefully, be less inclined in the future to think of Meinong as the "supreme entity-multiplier in the history of philosophy". (the definition is by Gilbert Ryle).
