Remarks on Essence, Ideal Quality, and Idea

Summary/Abstract: From the translator: In introduction to his considerations on ideas, pure quaJities and an essence, Hering emphasised that in spite of many diffrent problems, which had been analysed in phenonemology and the variety of solutions, one thesis was beyond a doubt - the existence of ideal objects. In the commentary to that thesis Ingarden wrote, that the analysis of essential questions: What ist it and sentences like: every square is a parallegram has got not only a formal aspect, but: "It is necessary to realize the content of the last sentence and explain the meaning of a word "square". To do this, we have to review the conceptions of ideas, pure qualities and an essence, which appeared throught-out contemporary history of philosophy - Husserl's conception and the most important Hering's one, which was presented in his work Bemerkungen über das Wesen, die Wesenheit und die Idee. Ingarden didin't agree with many solutions proposed by Hering, but the influence this work on him is unquestionable. The intention of tranlation this work was not only the presentation of this influence, although this historical aspect was important as well or the rendition of intelectual atmosphere those days. Hering's way of thinking and intrasigent eagerness for explaining the world of ideal objects show that this world still is and remains the real philosophical problem.
