Alfred Kastil (German: [ˈka:stil]; 12 May 1874, Graz – 20 July 1950, Schönbühel, Lower Austria) was an Austrian philosopher and Brentano scholar.
Life and work
[edit]Alfred Kastil was born in Graz, Austria on 12 May 1874.[1][2]
He attended secondary school in Brno.[1][3] The son of a bank clerk, Alois Kastil, in 1892, the year of his leaving school, Kastil came to Prague due to the transfer of his father.[3] (Both Brno and Prague then being Austrian territories within the Austro-Hungarian empire).
There, he attended the German Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague, where he initially studied law,. But he was soon drawn to philosophy. And he studied the same under Anton Marty (1847–1914), a follower, and former student of, Franz Brentano.[1] Kastil was, along with Oskar Kraus and Hugo Bergmann, amongst those of his Prague students that Marty converted to Brentano's philosophy.[4]
Kastil earned his doctorate in 1898 with the thesis Prinzipien der Aristotelischen Ethik (Principles of Aristotelian Ethics) under the supervision of Marty. He habilitated in 1901 with the thesis Zur Lehre von der Willensfreiheit in der nikomachischen Ethik (On the Doctrine of Free Will in Nicomachean Ethics).[5]
He taught as a professor at the Innsbruck University from 1912.[6]
After Brentano's death in 1917, Kastil, with Oskar Kraus, worked on Brentano's Nachlass, transferring much of it to Innsbruck.[7] With the support of the first President of Czechoslovakia Tomas Masaryk (himself a former student of Brentano) Kastil and Kraus helped to found a Brentano archive in Prague in 1932.[8][7] The political upheavals of the time however soon brought this project to an end.[7][9]
Kastil and Kraus succeeded in beginning the editing and posthumous publication of the many drafts, lecture notes and letters left by Brentano.[7] Wolfgang Huemer comments that both "tried to present Brentano's work as best as they could, putting together various texts to what they thought were rounded, convincing works" but that they sometimes did so with a "questionable editorial criteria".[7] And that their work would be "continued by other, more careful editors".[7]
Reviewing Susan F. Krantz's 1989 English edition, Linda Lopez McAlister (who had edited and helped translate another volume by Brentano)[10] notes that, 'as was his editorial practice', in Vom Dasein Gottes (1929), Kastil "altered the text of some of the earlier lectures so they would conform to Brentano's later views."[11] McAlister regarded this as "an unfortunate scholarly practice because it effaces the traces of the development of Brentano's thought,"[11] (Kastil "identifies in the notes which passages have been changed" but "does not give the original text".)[11]
Still, though the editions by Kastil and Kraus "were not done according to the standards of critical editing", as Robin Rollinger and Hynek Janousek note, "they served for a long time to keep Brentano's thought alive."[4]
Rush Rhees studied the work of Brentano with Kastil at Innsbruck (1932–1933) and continued visiting Kastil in Vienna up to 1937.[12]
Sources differ on whether it was (late) 1933 or (eary) 1934, but at (or near) the end of the winter semester 1933/34, Kastil retired early from Innsbruck for 'political reasons.'[6] As Wilhelm Baumgartner notes, Kastil "opposed the Nazi system and faced serious trouble as a result" whilst others there "were at least close to the Nazi ideology."[13] Peter Gollerm talks of Kastil as being, along with fellow philosopher Theodor Erismann, amongst the very few openly democratically minded opponents of the emerging right-wing authoritarianism and, from around 1929, of Nazism, within the secular Innsbruck faculty of the 1920s onwards.[14] Gollerm (and Urmann) also speak of Kastil giving up his teaching position in protest against the "braune Flut" ('brown tide' i.e. tide of Nazism)[15] at the university.[14][16] Dietrich von Hildebrand also recalls Kastil reporting that he had left Innsbruck "because the conduct of my colleagues was such that I could only see brown" (this being a reference to the brown-shirts).[17]
Kastil moved to Schönbühel near Melk, where he lived in what had been Brentano's summer house (this being made possible by Brentano's son Giovanni, who Kastil had tutored several years prior).[18] There, his main concern was the editing of further writings by Brentano, though he also lectured at the University of Vienna for two semesters (over 1937–1938), latterly on Brentano's philosophy.[18] (And delivered lectures to the Philosophical Society at the University of Vienna in 1935 and 1936.)[18][19]
At the age of 76, Kastil died suddenly, without prior illness, on 20 July 1950, in Schönbühel an der Dona[1][2] (now part of Schönbühel-Aggsbach).
In his last year Kastil undertook the writing of a comprehensive exposition of Brentano's philosophy. Franziska Mayer-Hillebrand, a former student, brought the work to publication the year after his death.[20][21]
Kastil had also begun the preparation of Brentano's Grundlegung und Aufbau der Ethik, and, under her own editorship, Mayer-Hillebrand completed this work in 1952.[22][23] Mayer-Hillebrand continued Kastil's work with Brentano's Religion und Philosophie (1954)[24] and Die Lehre vom richtigen Urteil (1956).[25] She also continued, as, Jan Srzednicki noted, with Kastil's aim, justified by their understanding of Brentano's own requests, that "his work should be continued, rather than reverently edited",[26]

Son of the bank clerk Alois Kastil. Secondary school in Brno. In 1892, the year of his school-leaving examination, he came to Prague due to a transfer of his father. Studied law at the German University in Prague. After passing the first state examination, he devoted himself exclusively to philosophy. K. attended lectures by Anton Marty and Emil Arleth. 1898 Doctorate with a thesis on the "Principles of Aristotelian Ethics". 1902 Habilitation ("The question of the knowledge of the good in Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas"). Temporary tutor to Giovanni Brentano, Brentano's only son, in Florence. From 1902, Kastil also worked as secretary of the "Society for the Promotion of German Science, Art and Literature in Bohemia" for material reasons. From 1909, as a colleague of Franz Hillebrand, full professor of philosophy in Innsbruck. Together with Oskar Kraus, he began work on Franz Brentano's estate in 1917. In 1920, he sided with the writer in the Innsbruck "Karl Kraus Affair" (German nationalist and Catholic students protested against a reading by Kraus). During the 1920s, the first Brentano archive was set up in Innsbruck, and K. also brought in Ernst Foradori to help manage it. In 1933, K. retired prematurely for political reasons. K. continues to work on the edition of Brentano's works, initially in Vienna and increasingly in Schönbühel after the beginning of the war.

As a professor in Prague Marty managed to exercise considerable influence, though this influence in many cases amounted to winning converts to Brentano's philosophy,.. Among these converts were Oskar Kraus, Alfred Kastil, and Hugo Bergmann. The former two were of course very active in editing Brentano's writings, many of which were taken from his literary remains. Though the resulting editions were not done according to the standards of critical editing and will ultimately have to be replaced, they served for a long time to keep Brentano's thought alive.

The Innsbruck Brentano School was consolidated when Emil Arleth was appointed to the second chair in 1905, but he died as early as 1909, whereupon the Brentano student and editor Alfred Kastil was appointed to Innsbruck. Kastil became known outside of academic philosophy, among other things, for taking the writer's side in the Innsbruck "Karl Kraus Affair" in 1920. At the end of the winter semester 1933/34, he prematurely retired from his post for political reasons.

The Brentano Society has recently been founded in Prague, Czechoslovakia, having as purpose the preservation of the philosophical remains of Franz Brentano, the encouragement of research of the contributions of Brentano, and the publication of a definitive edition of his works. .... With the help of President T. G. Masaryk, himself a former student of Brentano's, the Society has established its headquarters and the archives of Brentano's manuscripts ... Among the officers of the Society are Professor Oskar Kraus, of the German University of Prague, President, and Professor Alfred Kastil, of the University of Innsbruck, Vice-President.

In 1895, when Brentano gave up his position as Privatdozent in Vienna and moved to Florence, he gave up teaching and could no longer exert a direct influence on students. In this period, the center of the Brentano school moved to Prague, where Anton Marty held regular meetings with interested students, among them Oskar Kraus and Alfred Kastil. These second-generation members of the Brentano school – who are often called "Brentanoten" or "orthodox Brentanists" – stayed very faithful to Brentano's philosophy, (in particular to his last, reistic phase that they knew first-hand). They saw it as their main task to preserve Brentano's view and to defend them against the developments introduced by Husserl and the early phenomenologists as well as those introduced by Meinong and other members of the Graz School, respectively. After Brentano's death in 1917, they tried to set up and archive for Brentano's Nachlass and publish texts from it posthumously. While in the first years they achieved considerable results, not at least due to the help of the Czech president . . . Masaryk, the German invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1938 forced them into emigration and so brought an end to the Brentano School.

Brentano is another thinker whose range and power cannot be hidden by the relative plainness of his style, at least as it is represented in Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint (Routledge and Kegan Paul, £7.00). The English edition is based on the posthumous German edition, edited by Oscar Kraus, which was published in 1925. The translators are the editor (Linda L. McAlister), Antos C. Rancurello and D. B. Terrell.

This book is an English edition of the lectures that ... Franz Brentano ... gave on proofs for the existence of God .... from 1868 to 1891, and a supplemental essay ... from 1915. It is an excellent translation of the 1929 German edition by Brentano's student Alfred Kastil. As was his editorial practice, Kastil altered the text of some of the earlier lectures so they would conform to Brentano' s later views. This is an unfortunate scholarly practice because it effaces the traces of the development of Brentano's thought. Kastil identifies in the notes which passages have been changed but he does not give the original text.

Brentano died in 1917 in his eightieth year. Though he exercised a decisive influence upon modern philosophy on the European continent, he never published a comprehensive exposition of his system. During the last decades of his life, when his thinking went through an almost revolutionary change, he practically ceased to publish. He hated (as he put it once to the present writer) the "secondary work" connected with the publishing of books and left it to his students to do it after his death. He has indeed found two devoted disciples in Oskar Kraus and Alfred Kastil, who started to publish a full edition of his works. As a beginning, eleven volumes, with very valuable annotations by the editors, were published. The rise of the Nazis put an end to the enterprise. The printed volumes were destroyed during the war. A great part of Brentano's manuscripts remained unpublished up to the present day. Under these circumstances, all students of European philosophy will be grateful to the late Alfred Kastil, who, in his last year (he died in 1950) undertook to write a comprehensive—perhaps too comprehensive—exposition of Brentano's philosophy. ... The book has been published, after the author's death, under the supervision of Professor Franziska Mayer-Hillebrand of Innsbruck.

Most of the editors of Brentano's works and his commentators have a tendency to attempt to arrest his thought at a given moment and then to try to work out, in a systematic way, his views concerning most problems. So, for instance, Alfred Kastil (in Die Philosophie Franz Brentano's, Salzburg, 1951) ". ..attempted to represent Brentano's teaching in its final form . . ." 1 The same tendency is clearly evident in, e.g., F. Mayer- Hillebrand's edition of Die Lehre vom Richtigen Urteil (Bern, 1956). In order to attain this objective the editor used Brentano's own writings and some writings of Hillebrand, and produced a systematic whole by skillful arrangement, subtle changes and additions. The effect is one of detailed and systematic theory represented as Brentano's final views. One can see the temptation getting hold to present the master's complete theory and it is easy to have sympathy with it. What is more, justification is produced by reference to Brentano's own requests that his work should be continued, rather than reverently edited. ... that it is not of utmost importance to have his work edited in final form. In other places, and by word of mouth, Brentano also advised his followers to carry on his work in preference to undertaking a painstaking edition of his manuscripts. It is noticeable that the theory-completion tendency mentioned above and justified by reference to these statements, is stronger with Kastil and Mayer-Hillebrand than it was with Kraus.

The Brentano Society has undertaken to disseminate and develop Brentano's ideas. It has arranged for the publication of lectures and speeches delivered by its members on the occasion of the eighth international congress of philosophers at Prague, September I934; and they have recently appeared under the title Zur Philosophie der Gegenwart.21 We may mention the impressive lectures of Alfred Kastil on "The Ontological and the gnoseological Conception of Truth" ... 21Published by the Brentano-Gesellschaft itself, 1934.
