Description


This is the first translation into English of early phenomenologist Hedwig Conrad-Martius' Metaphysical Conversations, originally published in 1921. Conrad-Martius was one of Husserl's first students, an important part of the G ttingen Phenomenology Circle and mentor to Edith Stein, Jean H ring, and other early phenomenologists. The present volume provides the full German and English texts of the conversations, a phenomenological discussion of the nature of the human, examining the nature of body, soul, and spirit, and drawing distinctions between plants, animals, humans, and various other beings. The volume also includes two important essays on phenomenology, in which Conrad-Martius distinguishes between the phenomenological approaches of Husserl, Heidegger, and the more ontological approach of the G ttingen school of phenomenology. She is critical of Husserl's "transcendental" and Heidegger's "existential" approach. The conversations illustrate her use of the phenomenological method for fundamental investigations into the nature (or Wesen) of things.
