迈农是与胡塞尔、弗雷格和弗洛伊德同时代的奥地利哲学家,他针对传统形而上学遗漏非存在对象的局限性,建立了融本体论、知识论、逻辑学、语义学、价值论、伦理学和美学干一体的新形而上学或对象理论。其在非存在研究或东方哲学所说的有无之辩领域所进行的创造性、拓展性、掘进性工作,不仅大大发展了人类的本体论研究,为后来的本体论研究开辟了新的领域和方向,而且极大地影响了后来逻辑学和语义学的发展,其所提出的问题、概念框架和所用的话语仍在许多领域流行。有理由说,迈农的思想和方法同时是后来分析哲学和现象学的源头之一。
The Austrian philosopher Meinong has as significant influence on philosophical ontology, logics and semantics as his contemporaries, Hussel, Frege and Freud, though he is not as famous as them. Aimed at avoiding the limitation of non-being objects in traditional metaphysics, Meinong has established neo-metaphysics, or obiect theory, in combination of ontology, theory of knowledge, logics, semantics, axiology, ethics and aesthetics. His initiative and innovative contributions to the study of non- being, or the debate on you and wu, not only have developed ontological research and open up a new field for it, but also have greatly affected the progress of logics and semantics with many focus questions, conceptual framework and discourse prevailing in many domains. Therefore, Meinongist thought and methodology are both origins of analytical philosophy and phenomenology.
