The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, I am going to sketch Ginsberg's arguments against a specific understanding of the terms “inseparability” (untrennbar/inseparable)/“separability” (trennbar/separable), rooted in Franz Brentano's descriptive psychology, where they are defined in relation to the content of consciousness (I call this approach intentional or “psychologistic”). Twardowski (Stumpf, Höfler) and, in a way, Husserl took this line. However, Husserl, in his whole/parts analysis, goes beyond the context of imaginative presentation. The secondary aim of the following investigations is to clarify and support Ginsberg's position on these issues through a reference to the terms introduced into ontological discourse by Ingarden. Unfortunately, neither Husserl's (semi-formal) whole-parts theory, nor Ginsberg's work on inseparability/separability, despite their undeniable merits, have so far attracted strong interest among philosophers. Yet possibilities are many: one could, for instance, investigate whether their detailed analyses of whole-part theory, inseparability/separability, different kinds of relations, forms of dependence, have something of value to offer in the current discussions within continental philosophy, or even within analytic philosophy of modern ontology. According to Husserl, these subjects are fundamental for ontology, which makes them continually relevant; there is still much to learn from those painstaking investigations of ontological relations.
