Exploring Meinong’s Jungle and Beyond

Richard Routley/Sylvan (1935-1996), a New Zealand born philosopher, who was a research fellow at the Australian National University at the time of his death, rose to prominence for his work in the development of Relevance Logic, Deep Ecology and a revised and improved Meinongian ontology known as noneism. An iconoclastic figure in Australian philosophy, Routley/Sylvan s legacy thrives in the views of students and colleagues worldwide. Maureen Eckert is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at UMASS Dartmouth whose editorial works include Fate, Time and Language: David Foster Wallace s Essay on Free Will (2010), Freedom and the Self: Essays on the Philosophy of David Foster Wallace (2015) and Theories of Mind: Introductory Readings (2006). She is an advocate of non-classical logic, focusing on instructional methods for presenting it in undergraduate philosophy curricula.

"It is really nice ... . There is still much to be learned from Sylvan's work, not only from the efforts to put noneism on rigorous bases, but also from the criticisms he advanced to the theory of reference." (Jonas Rafael Becker Arenhart, Mathematical Reviews, November, 2019)
