Gustav Bergmann (1906-1987) was, arguably, the greatest ontologist of the twentieth century in pursuing the fundamental questions of first philosophy as deeply as any philosopher of any time. In 2006 and 2007, international conferences devoted solely to Bergmann's work were held at the University of Iowa in the USA, Université de Provence in France, and Università degli Studi Roma Tre in Italy. The papers in this volume were presented at the first of these conferences, in Iowa City, where Bergmann taught for nearly four decades after escaping from Europe, following the dissolution of the Vienna Circle of which he had been the youngest member. There are nine philosophical papers, reminiscences of three of his students, and a complete bibliography of his published writings.
The Development of Bergmann's Metaphysics; The First Station of Gustav Bergmann's Odyssey; Bergmann as Historian; Bergmann on the Synthetic A Priori Truth: Nothing Can Have Two Colours All Over at Once; Gustav Bergmann's Quest for the Ontology of Knowing: From Phenomenalism Towards Realism; Time for Bergmann's Bare Particulars; Breadley's Regress: Meinong versus Bergmann; Bergmann's Thinkable Inexpressibles; Placing Bergmann; Reminiscence of Gustav Bergmann; Reminiscence of Gustav Bergmann (1987); Reminiscences of Bergmann's Last Student.
