This is an important book, not least because it reprints (or, rather, offers the first English translation of) Alexius Meinong’s most-cited essay on object-theory. It is a collection of important work developing a kind of realism starting with Franz Brentano and stretching out through Husserl and beyond, and then back to G.E. Moore’s common sense.

When I read every last essay, then I will come back here and review the book properly. But for now, take my advice: if you are interested in the work of Meinong, and its place in the history of philosophy, this is the book to start with. ( )
