Introduction
From: Roman Ingarden's Ontology and Aesthetics
$0.88
The basic claim of this book is twofold: (1) that we are not in a position accurately to interpret and evaluate Ingarden’s studies in aesthetics until we place them within the framework provided by his realist ontological position as a whole, and (2) that, conversely, we cannot fully appreciate the force of Ingarden’s arguments in his ‘non-aesthetic’ epistemological and ontological investigations—such as we find in his magnum opus, The Controversy Over the Existence of the World—without understanding how Ingarden intended his studies in aesthetics to provide those investigations, and his own position with regard to the idealism/realism debate, with a solid foundation.
