Abstract:
Brentano, a major figure in the history of Austrian Empiricism, attempts to ground knowledge and practice in his neo-Aristotelian theory of psychic phenomena. For him, psychic phenomena are characterized by intentional inexistence, which in short means that reality is given to us in sense and we are cognitively and evaluatively positioned in relation to the relevant sensory contents. Truth and goodness are matters of our proper critical or thymic attitude towards these existential contents. Good, then, for him is that which we rightly love, while good is that which we rightly prefer. Brentano's analyses, i.e. the beginnings of the so-called second Austrian Evaluology with Erenfels and Meinong (with Menger and his descendants leading the way), certainly constitutes the basis for Phenomenological Evaluology as well.
