Abstract
This paper is based on a comparative analysis of two concepts of Austrian philosophy and several concepts within the analytical philosophical tradition. In 1912, Ernst Mally wrote a work that influenced the theory of his teacher, Alexius Meinong, and the new tradition within the framework of analytical metaphysics. First, he clarifies the theory of Meinong by providing a more reasoned answer to the criticisms expressed, in particular, by Bertrand Russell. Secondly, he also introduced the distinction between encoding and exemplification, which perhaps enabled the object theory to better implement that task, but violates the basic principles of Meinong’s theory. These two distinctions have influenced the formation of two traditions. All authors generally believe that they have adequately adapted theories of Meinong and Mally, slightly optimizing their conceptions. The aim of this research is to understand whether their distinctions are just a formalization of the original distinctions, or whether their theories are completely independent, inspired by Austrian philosophers.
