Husserlian prairies, Meinongian jungles

------------ By J. L. Speranza, of the Grice Club
for the Carnap Corner


From an online source:

"Husserl exerted a crucial influence on the early Carnap."

It's _late_ now but: to consider: "the young Carnap", "the early Carnap", how early can you be?

Oddly Husserl exteerted a crucial influence on me: I tried to avoid all the seminars on phenomenology given by that fanatic of Mario Presas at my Philo Dept.!

------ Grice speaks of "Meinongian jungle" in "Vacuous Names". He is brief about them: "Avoid them".

Meinong was possibly Husserlian.

They say that Ogden/Richards, The meaning of meaning, is also Husserlian in parts. The idea of a phenomenology of content, etc.
