Reihe: ProPhil – Projekte zur Philosophie

This book contains a collection of essays co-authored by Edgar Morscher and Peter Simons. The themes of the essays range from questions of the objectivity of truth-bearers and truth-makers to Meinong's object theory and semantics, from the history and foundations of free logic to situation semantics, and include also an occasional piece on the philosophy of water, an unusual topic assigned to the authors for a conference about the River Danube. The last and previously unpublished essay deals with similarities as well as differences between leading ideas in the philosophies of Bolzano, Quine and Kit Fine; this essay is part of a longer-term book project of the authors.
