Venanzio Raspa delivered a lecture on Non-Aristotelian logic and another one on Meinongian aesthetics and ontology, on March 23rd and 25th in Ljubljana. We had nice time together. I tried to push for Meinongian monism on two counts: in the area of ideal objects, there is superset of all properties, and there is an immense ordered range of possible objects; all this is parsimonious. In the area of the empirical world, infima are bought just for reason of antirelativism according to Raspa. This I see as a reductio of parts and an actual acceptance of monism. Now Raspa asks: what is the relation between ideal and empirical realms? Emanuele Marini from Milano is fluent in Slovenian language, he had contacts to Raspa, but met him for the first time in Ljubljana. Emanuele is writing a book on France Veber, where the main point is affirmation of Veber's enlargements of objects to desiderativa and dignitativa, a distinction specifying Brentano's Gemuetsbewegungen and adopted by Meinong. I stressed that this goes together with another important Slovene philosopher, Ernst Mally (born in Kranj with career in Graz), the originator of the deontic logic. Both Slovene philosophers Veber and Mally pushed for extenstion of the area of objects of the higher order. The lower photo shows myself with Raspa, the upper photo with Marini.
