Ingarden and the theory of existential dependence

Summary/Abstract: While Husserl offered the beginnings of a properly ontological account of dependence, it was his student Roman Ingarden who first recognized the vast applicability of the notion of dependence, and who first distinguished important variations in the relation of dependence. In this paper I discuss Ingarden’s contributions to the theory of dependence, such as admitting cases of dependence for so-being as well as for being and distinguishing temporal variations in the dependence relation. His work provides the basis for a new theory of dependence at once more comprehensive and able to make finger-grained distinctions than prior theories. Such a new theory of dependence is outlined at the close of the paper.
