Rudolf Haller

I took part at the Haller conference in Arizona and spent some time there with various people, among them Sylvan. I delivered a lecture in Graz where Haller told me that my externalist minded ecologist approach is rather Berkley like. Haller came to Ljubljana and delivered lectures there as I invited him. I met him on several other occasions at Graz (Meinong conference is one example) and at Kirchberg symposia. Chisholm, Lehrer and many others came to Ljubljana through Haller's assistance. Professors Gombocz and Haller supported Slovene-Austrian international conferences with Davidson and others. Some years ago I felt an urge to visit Haller in Vienna and talk with him, which then unfortunately did not happen. Today I learned about the demise of Rudolf Haller whom I thought about as my friend.
