The Ontological Exclusivity of the IPhänomenologische Forschungen 2017 (1): 97-116. 2017.The pivotal insight that paved Conrad-Martius’ (1880–1966) (CM) way in elucidating the ontological exclusivity of the I, denoted as “I-adhering being” (Ichhaftes Sein), is that despite its peculiarity and incomparability to any other mode of being, only the ontological foundations of the real being in general might enable a faithful comprehension of the I. The phenomenological interpretation suggested in this article presents CM’s ontological understanding of the I vis-a-vis her philosophy of Be…Read more

The Gate of RealityPhänomenologische Forschungen 2014 59-82. 2014.The question „what is reality?“ that opens Realontologie (1923), the establishing book in Hedwig Conrad-Martius’s (CM) oeuvre, establishes her realistic metaphysics. In her opinion, the firmly established „blinding insight“ in modern philosophy regarding the unfathomable contrast between the ideal and the real blocks any access to the question of reality. Her realontological philosophy seeks the „gate of reality“, meaning the datum-point where things „elevate“ themselves from non-existence or me…Read more

Transcendence and Dissatisfaction in Jaspers’ Idea of the SelfPhänomenologische Forschungen 2005 221-242. 2005.This paper deals with the idea of the search for self, mainly in the thinking of Karl Jaspers. The discussion will focus on the very nature of this search and the power that motivates it. For this purpose, it will employ a phenomenological viewpoint that will follow Jaspers’ course from its first point of departure, in which the self appeared. As an object of observation, up to the point where the self acquired the status of the subject, i.e., appeared as a personal and existential issue. The po…Read more

Essence, Abyss, and Self—Hedwig Conrad-Martius on the Non-spatial Dimensions of BeingIn Sebastian Luft & Ruth Hagengruber (eds.), Women Phenomenologists on Social Ontology: We-Experiences, Communal Life, and Joint Action, Springer Verlag. pp. 147-167. 2018.Hedwig Conrad-Martius, the woman pioneer of the realistic phenomenological school, describes the reality to which her philosophizing is addressed as “totally non-material corporeality”. With this contradictory expression she seeks to affirm two foundational aspects regarding reality: the spatial that achieved material realization in real existents and the concealed non-spatial that is at the cradle of the establishing of reality and remains present behind its phenomenal and material appearing. T…Read more

Parker (ed.), The Idealism-Realism Debate Among Edmund Husserl’s Early Followers and Critics, Springer Verlag. pp. 193-216. 2021.This article discusses the main arguments of Hedwig Conrad-Martius against the worldview of idealism in connection to her phenomenological idea of reality. The discussion focuses on her most far-reaching critical argument concerning the damage caused by idealism to the possibility for metaphysics by turning the real into the ideal, thereby reducing reality to an idea. This article analyses Conrad-Martius’ understanding of the evolution of idealism and of her criticism regarding the metaphysical …Read more

709The Self in the Realms Ontology: A Critical View of Hannah Arendt’s Conception of The Human ConditionInternational Journal of the Humanities 6 (11): 41-52. 2009.The widely accepted approach in scholarly literature on Hannah Arendt’s The Human Condition emphasizes its political meaning and implications while neglecting its ontological dimensions. Against this trend, in this article I seek to uncover the implicit ontology that underlies her conception of the human condition. This human ontology appears to be comprised of five realms – the private, the public, intimacy, the social and the self. While Arendt explicitly bases her conception upon the first tw…Read more

937Models of Presence and Loss of Transcendence in HistoryPhilosophy Study 3 (4): 331-351. 2013.The article seeks to elucidate the status of transcendence in the historiography of secularization through the perspective of collective memory. It discusses two typological models dealing with the basic metaphysical problem concerned with the presence and meaning of transcendence in real human existence. According to the first, the historical reality of secularization causes a break from the collective memory whose roots are in religion. In contrast, the second model considers that despite …Read more
