Beschreibung
Slovenian philosopher Franz Weber (or France Veber)
(1890,–,1975) was the most important philosopher in
Slovenia in the last two decades before the Second World
War. He was the first professor of philosophy at the Faculty
of Arts, University of Ljubljana (founded 1919). He emerged
from the Graz school of Alexius Meinong, founder of the
object theory. He brought the object theory in Slovenia and
complemented it with his original theory of direct
experience of reality. The book is a concise comprehensive
presentation of Weber’s philosophy and its development, with
an emphasis on his theory of knowledge, social philosophy,
and philosophy of culture that were all grounded in his
philosophical psychology. He advocated (Slavic) agrarianism
and cooperativism.
