ABSTRACT
In M. and W. G. Stock's historical reconstruction of the Graz school, Rudolf Ameseder occupies a position of secondary importance as regards his treatment of Meinongian topics, which he did not deal with in their entirety. Ameseder was dissatisfied with Meinong's distinction between ideal and real objects, according to which only an object that can really exist by nature can be real, otherwise it is an ideal object. Ameseder addressed the question of sensations in the first part of his essay Uber Vorstellungsproduktion, subtitled 'descriptive,' which was the eighth contribution in the 1904 volume edited by Meinong. Thus Ameseder was obliged to solve the problem of the relation between the presentation of a founded object and the presentation of its inferiora. The essay on colour marked Ameseder's passage to the artistic field, which was his main interest. This can be inferred from the absence of his personal elaboration of Meinong's theories, as was the case of other of Meinong's pupils.
