Meinong, Alexius von 1853-1920
Austrian philosopher and psychologist
He was born in Lemberg, Galicia (Ukraine). A disciple of Franz Brentano in Vienna, he became professor at Graz in 1882 and founded there in 1894 Austria's first institute of experimental psychology. His main works were Über Annahmen (1902, 'On Assumptions') and Untersuchungen zur Gegenstandstheorie und Psychologie (1904, 'Investigation into the theory of objects and psychology'). In the latter he distinguishes sharply between the content and the objects of thoughts and makes further distinctions between different kinds of objects, to the point of paradox if not absurdity - as Bertrand Russell devastatingly demonstrated, wielding 'Ockham's razor'.
