Abstrakt

This contribution describes some of the relations between early analytic philosophy in Cambridge and philosophy in Austria: Stout's early approval of the writings of Brentano and his students; the high opinion in Cambridge of the Austrian way of doing philosophy. It also outlines two Austrian versions of ideas which were to be very important in early Cambridge philosophy: Husserl on definite descriptions and Meinong on structural similarities.
