Abstract

A Brentanian Look at Wittgenstein, and a Moral Peter SI MONS Universität Salzburg 1. Introductory Roderick Chis holm is the greatest post-war exponent ofthe virtues of Austrian philosophy as she was practised in the schools of Brentano and Meinong. Not only does he tell us what Brentano and co. said and meant,l he endeavours to carry their way of doing philosophy forward, and indeed champions the characteristically Brentanian theme of the primacy and irreducibility of the intentional through many of his publications. Yet many would say that the greatest Austrian philosopher was Wittgenstein, and that there is litde in common between his concerns and those of Brentano, Meinong and Chisholm. I disagree. Between the fater philosophy of Wittgenstein and that of Brentano there lie oceans, but between that of the Wittgenstein of the Tractatus and the later Brentano there are notable similarities, media ted no doubt by Meinong and Russell. Here I may rely on authority:2 Through Russell and Moore the echoes of Meinong were carried to Wittgenstein: no one who considers the stress on facts and being-the-case in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, or the frequent references to the puzzling character of thought ab out the non-existent in The Blue
