Among the philosophers with whom Edgar Morscher engaged, Bernard Bolzano (1781–1848) occupies a special place. This volume presents a selection of the topics investigated by this polymath that were also significant for Morscher’s discussions. The ten essays address, for example, Bolzano’s theory of ideas, propositions and truths in themselves, more general questions of his ontology, epistemology, and philosophy of science, his logic and philosophy of mathematics, as well as his metaphysics (using the example of one of the reasons for the immortality of the soul) and his utopian vision of the state.
