Abstract

In order to get a picture of Meinong as person and as philosopher, it is best to turn to the following writings: Philosophenbriefe edited by R. Kindinger, commemorative speeches written by Ernst Mally and Eduard Martinak, and Meinonggedenkschrift prepared and edited in Graz.1 From these writings a philosopher emerges who was careful, always in the process of revising himself, a generous, never-tiring teacher who was strict but respected everyone, who had a droll humor, and who was cheerful company in a small circle of friends. Examples which he used to illuminate a point and incidental remarks in his works show his subtle humor. Reading his mostly dry material, one is occasionally and unexpectedly amused; and through the lines one feels the warmth of the long gone person.
