Alexius Meinong e Kazimierz Twardowski in dialogo. Su contenuto e oggetto, rappresentazioni e giudizi

This article focuses on the intellectual relationship between Meinong and Twardowski. Starting with their correspondence, it examines in what terms Twardowski's Zur Lehre vom Inhalt und Gegenstand der Vorstellungen was important for Meinong's elaboration of his object theory. It also examines in what way some Meinongian essays stimulated in turn Twardowski's reflections on concepts and representations. It is shown that the two philosophers pursued common themes and theses interactively, and their respective views can be seen to overlap in some regards. These shared themes concern the well-known distinction between content and object, the notions of object, existence and reality, the conception of intuitive and non-intuitive representations, the assumption of non-existent objects and certain theses on judgments that are extraneous to Brentano's conception, which provided the philosophical background on which both of them drew.
