The paper compares the ideas developed by Bozzi and Stumpf with regard to unity, identity, and causality. Although Bozzi’s formulation is independent from the one made by Stumpf in his Erkenntnislehre (1939-1940), these two positions share the same innovative importance granted to perceptual experience and to the problem of the origin of categories. Thus, despite different levels of awareness and formalization, in both authors we see the features of what we can call – analogous- ly to Bozzi’s naïve physics – a “naïve metaphysics”, at whose core lie the refusal of intellectualism, and the determination of the origin of categories in the concrete stream of perception.

Abstract: In the literary form of a dinner table conversation between Mach, Bozzi, and others in a virtual Gorizian restaurant this paper presents biographical similarities as well as well as similarities in their general philosophical approach. For both scientist-philosophers it is the phenomenological experience, characterizing our Lebenswelt, which is the basis of all our knowledge and at the same time its point of reference.
