“The Reinstatement of the Phenomenon”—Hedwig Conrad-Martius and the Meaning of “Being”

Abstract

The necessity for a “reinstatement of the phenomenon” as presented in her “Philosophy of being” in Hedwig Conrad-Martius seems to be born out of a need to elevate man to a “statute of reality” through his “essence” that would allow to endow him with more “substance” than he would normally possess by himself.
