Brentano and Marty: An Inquiry into Being and Truth

  • Chapter
Mind, Meaning and Metaphysics

Part of the book series: Primary Sources in Phenomenology ((PSIP,volume 3))

Abstract

Aristotle, as is well known, distinguished in his ontology between being in the sense of the categories and being in the sense of being true. (Met., 1017 a 31ff.) The early Brentano, correspondingly, distinguished between things or ens reale on the one hand, and entia rationis or irrealia on the other. Ens reale are for example a soul and its constituents (or ‘divisives’), the various mental acts of presentation, judgment, love and hate. Entia rationis are entities such as the existence of A and the non-existence of A, entities which have a role to play in making true our judgments about entia realia.
