The text is an introduction to Rollinger’s edition and translation of Brentano’s treatise “Ontological questions”. The treatise is the lengthiest and most substantial elaboration of Brentano’s ontology (and also to some extent his epistemology) at the end of a long period of gestation during the early twentieth century (from about 1902–1908). The ontology in question has been labeled “reism” (aterm that Brentano himself does not use) because it does not allow for any other entities besides things, i.e. real entities which are either souls or bodies. Brentano had been corresponding extensively for a number of years with his student, Anton Marty, then a professor of the German Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague and teacher of Kastil, as well as with others who came to represent Brentano’s philosophy, most notably with Oskar Kraus.
