Did I Just See Romeo Commit Suicide?Jakha, Hicham (Avtor) Alexius MeinongLeopold BlausteintheaterphenomenologyontologyI analyze the aesthetic experience of theatergoers in light of Meinong’s “assumptions” and Blaustein’s “imaginative presentations,” taking Brentano’s “universality thesis” as the background of my analyses. I argue that “presentations” and “judgments” go hand in hand, as far as theater experience is concerned. To put forth my main argument, I follow a two-fold line of reasoning: phenomenological and ontological. On the phenomenological level, Blaustein’s imaginative presentations, I argue, are self-sufficient. Nonetheless, on the ontological level, the theater’s represented objects emerge as having a two-sided structure that undermines the phenomenological simplicity of presentations. By characterizing represented objects’ ontology in this manner, I admit Meinong’s assumptions as a fourth class of mental phenomena, and, beyond the frameworks of both Meinong and Blaustein, incorporate judgments into the aesthetic experience of theater.20252026-01-13 03:44:42Neznano25159UDK: 130.121:111.1ISSN pri članku: 1318-3362DOI: 10.32022/PHI34.2025.134-135.6COBISS_ID: 264414723sl
