France Veber (1890–1975)

Abstract

Veber’s major work in the field of aesthetics, which is believed to be his most important philosophical work, was published in 1925 under the title Estetika: Psihološki in normativni temelji estetske pameti (Aesthetics: Psychological and normative grounds of aesthetic reason). According to him, this work follows systematically from his Etika. Prvi poskus eksaktne nagonske pameti (Ethics: The first attempt of the exact instinctive reason, 1923). In Estetika, as in all his works of 1921–1925, he first critically develops the philosophical doctrine of his Graz teacher Alexis Meinong, the establisher of the so-called “Gegenstandstheorie” (object theory), which represents the Austrian strand of phenomenology.
